The speed of ligh is expressed through given refractive indicex as following:


cvacuumcwafflecheese=n2\dfrac{c_{vacuum}}{c_{wafflecheese}} = n_2

where cvacuum=3×108m/sc_{vacuum} = 3\times 10^8 m/s is the speed of light in vacuum and n2=3.14n_2 = 3.14 is the refractive index of wafflecheese. Thus, obtain:

cwafflecheese=cvacuumn2=3×108m/s3.140.96×108m/sc_{wafflecheese} = \dfrac{c_{vacuum}}{n_2}=\dfrac{3\times 10^8m/s}{3.14} \approx 0.96\times 10^8m/s

Answer. 0.96×108m/s0.96\times 10^8m/s.
