n=c/v
where
n =the index of refraction
c =the speed of light in vacuum
v =the speed of light in a medium
find n
http://physics.info/refraction/
If the speed of light through material Z is
2.5×10^8 m/s, what is this material’s index of
refraction? The speed of light in a vacuum is
3 × 10^8 m/s.

(3x10^8)/x = 2.5 x 10^8
x= 1.2
x= 1.2
