Answer:

speed of light in glass ≈ 1.89*[tex]10^{8}m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

refractive index (n) =[tex]\frac{1}{sinC}[/tex]            .......................equation 1

refractive index (n) = velocity of light in air/ velocity of light in medium  ....equ2

equate equation 1 and two;

[tex]\frac{1}{sinC} = \frac{c}{speed of light in glass}[/tex]

speed of light in glass = c*sinC

                            =[tex]3*10^{8}*sin39[/tex]°

speed of light in glass = 188,796,117.314 m/s

speed of light in glass ≈ 1.89*[tex]10^{8}m/s[/tex]
