Given Speed of Light: We know the speed of light in a vacuum is about 300,000extkm/s. The refractive index of water is about 1.33. Calculation: Speed of light in water = Speed of light in vacuum / Refractive index of water
Calculate Speed in Water: Plug in the values. Calculation: Speed of light in water = 300,000km/s÷1.33
Perform Division: Perform the division. Calculation: 300,000÷1.33≈225,563.91 km/s
