Question

100%

How long (in ns) does it take light to travel 1.00 m in water (n = 1.33)? (You will need to look up the speed of light in a vacuum.)

Definition Definition Rate at which light travels, measured in a vacuum. The speed of light is a universal physical constant used in many areas of physics, most commonly denoted by the letter c . The value of the speed of light c = 299,792,458 m/s, but for most of the calculations, the value of the speed of light is approximated as c = 3 x 10 8 m/s.
