Answer:
a) 3.33 ns
b) Water distance = 0.75 m
Glass distance = 0.66 m
Diamond distance = 0.41 m
Explanation:
We take the speed of light, c = m/s.
Speed = distance/time
Time = distance/speed
a)
t = 3.33 ns
b)
Refractive index, n = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium
Thus, the distance traveled in the same time is numerically equal to the reciprocal of the refractive index.
For water n = 1.333
d = 1/1.333 = 0.75 m
For glass n = 1.517
d = 0.66 m
For diamond n = 2.417
d = 0.41 m
