Answer:
1.97 * 10^8 m/s
Explanation:
Given that:
n = 1.52
Recall : speed of light (c) = 3 * 10^8 m/s
Speed (v) of light in glass:
v = speed of light / n
v = (3 * 10^8) / 1.52
v = 1.9736 * 10^8
Hence, speed of light in glass :
v = 1.97 * 10^8 m/s
Since there is no diagram I can see to prove my answer, I must infer that a heat source should be applied to the solid substance and cause the atoms in the solid to spread further apart and become a different state, in which atoms will be able to freely move, gas.
