Answer:
1.11
Explanation:
The index of the medium can be calculated using below formula
V= c/ n ............eqn(1)
Where V= velocity of the light is reduced to while traveling through the second medium= 2.7 x 10^8 m/s
n= index of the medium
c= speed of light= 3 x 10^8 m/s
Substitute for the values in eqn(1)
2.7 x 10^8 = (3 x 10^8 m/s)/ n
Making " n" subject of the formula, we have
n= (3 x 10^8 )/(2.7 x 10^8)
n= 1.11
Hence, the index of the medium is 1.11
