I will assume that question in which medium the light of that frequency travels at that speed.
To find this answer we will have to calculate the refractive index of that medium.
Refractive index of a material is a number that tells us how light propagates through a medium. It tells us how much ray of light would bend entering the medium from a vacuum. It is defined as:
n= \frac{c}{v}
c is the speed of light in the vacuum and v is the speed of light in the medium. Now we can calculate refractive index:n= \frac{3\cdot10^{8}}{2.04\cdot{10^8}}} =1.471
We can search for a material that has this refractive index. 
I found that Pyrex, glycerine and vegetable oil have a refractive index of 1.47.

The complete question in the attached figure
Let
c ------------------- > is the speed of light
v ------------------- > is the speed in medium
n ------------------- > is the refractive index of medium
we know that
c/v = n
n = (3 x 10^8)/(2.04 x 10^8) = 1.47

1.47 is the refractive index of glycerol.
therefore

the answer is (4) glycerol

An inductor is connected in series to a fully charged capacitor. Which of the following statements are true? Check all that appl
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing

Explanation:

Lets take

C= Capacitance

L=Inductance

V=Voltage

I= Current

The total energy E given as

E=\dfrac{IL^2}{2}+\dfrac{CV^2}{2}

We know that total energy E is conserved so when electric energy 1/2 CV² decreases then magnetic energy 1/2 IL²  will increases.

It means that when charge on the capacitor decreases then the current will increase.

As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing

Light travels from medium X into medium Y. Medium Y has a higher index of refraction. Consider each statement below:(i) The ligh
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

i) FALSE,  ii) TRUE,  iii) FALSE, iv)  FALSE

Explanation:

When light (electromagnetic radiation) travels through a material medium, its speed is less than the speed of light in a vacuum. If we define the index of parts

           n = c / v

where v is the speed of light in the material medium.

The direction of the ray can be determined by the law of refraction

          n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

Let's apply these equations to our case where

          nₓ <n_y

i) The expression of the refractive index

          nₓ < n_y

         \frac{c}{v_x} = \frac{c}{n_y}

         v_y <vₓ

therefore the expression is FALSE

ii) If we use the law of refraction, the light, when passing from a medium with a lower start to another with a higher index, must approach the normal one, away from what would be the continuation of the path of the incident ray

so the expression is TRUE

iii) The speed of light is constant in all material media

the statement is FALSE

iv) light approaches normal

Let me clarify that the normal is a line perpendicular to the surface at the point of contact, not the direction of Io.

 the statement of FALSE
