We are asked to solve for the index of refraction and the formula is n = c/v where "n" represents the index of refraction, "c" represents the speed of light in the vacuum while "v" represents the speed of another medium.
In the problem, we have the given values below:
c = 3 x 10^8 m/s
v = 2 x 10^8 m/s
n =?

Solving for n, we have the solution below:
n = 3x10^8 /  2x10^8
n = 1.5

The answer is 1.5 for the index of refraction.

How do you find the water pressure at the bottom of the 55-m-high water tower?
svp [43]
-- What's the volume of a cylinder with radius=1m and height=55m ?

         ( Volume of a cylinder = π R² h )

-- How much does that volume of water weigh ?

            1 liter of water = 1 kilogram of mass
            Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) 

-- What's the area of the bottom of that 1m-radius cylinder ?

       Pressure  =  (force) / (area)
