Knowing that the speed of light in the vitreous humor is 2.1 × 108 m/s, what is the index of refraction of the vitreous humor? (Note: The speed of light in a vacuum is 3.0 × 108 m/s.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

   n = 1,429

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to calculate the refractive index, it is a constant that depends on the wavelength and relates the behavior of light when passing through two different material media.

The refractive index of a material is given by

         n = c / v

where n is the refractive index, c the speed of light and v the speed in the material medium

let's calculate

         n = 3.0 108 / 2.1 108

         n = 1,429
