(a) The speed of light in the unknown substance is determined 1.82 x 10⁸ m/s.

(b) The light will bend away from the normal since speed of light in air is not equal to speed of light in the substance.

<h3>What is the speed of light?</h3>

The speed of light passing from air into the substance is calculated as follows;

refractive index = speed of light in air / speed of light in the substance

speed of light in the substance = speed of light in air/refractive index

speed of light in the substance = (3 x 10⁸) / (1.65)

speed of light in the substance = 1.82 x 10⁸ m/s

Thus, the light will bend away from the normal since speed of light in air is not equal to speed of light in the substance.
