Light — practice question

A beam of light moves through a vacuum before it goes into a liquid. The diagram illustrates its route. In the vacuum, the light travels at a speed of $3.0 \times 10^{8}\,\text{m s}^{-1}$. What is the speed of light in the liquid?

  • A$1.9 \times 10^{8}\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • B$2.0 \times 10^{8}\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • C$4.6 \times 10^{8}\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
  • D$4.8 \times 10^{8}\,\text{m s}^{-1}$
