The speed of light in salt (sodium chloride) is 1.96 x10 8m/s . Calculate the index of refraction for sodium chloride.
Gives
Light velocity in medium
vvv =1.96×108m/sec1.96\times10^8m/sec1.96×108m/sec
Light velocity in vacuum
c=3×108m/secc=3\times10^8m/secc=3×108m/sec
n=?
We know that
n=cvn=\frac{c}{v}n=vc
Put value
n=3×1081.96×108=1.54n=\frac{3\times10^8}{1.96\times10^8}=1.54n=1.96×1083×108=1.54
