Answer:

a) 1.517\times10^{-11} s

b) 3.41 mm

Explanation:

a)

We take the speed of light, c = 3.0\times10^8 m/s and the refractive index of glass as 1.517.

Speed = distance/time

Time = distance/speed

Refractive index, n = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

n=\dfrac{c}{s}

s=\dfrac{c}{n}

t=\dfrac{d}{c/n}

t=\dfrac{dn}{c}

t=\dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times1.517}{3.0\times10^8}

t=1.517\times10^{-11}

b)

We take the refractive index of water as 1.333.

Speed in water = speed in vacuum / refractive index of water

Distance = speed * time

d=s\times t

d=\dfrac{c}{n_w}\times \dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times1.517}{c}

d=\dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times 1.517}{1.333}

d = 3.41 mm
