A wonderful (NOT) mixed unit problem

convert mph to m/s

v = 10 mi/hr(5280 ft/mi)(12 in/ft)(2.54 cm/in) / (100 cm/m) / (3600 s/hr)

v = 4.4704 m/s

KE = ½(0.006)4.4704²

KE = 0.05995342848 J

KE = 0.06 J

If the index of refraction of a lens is 1.5, how fast does light travel in the lens?

Len [333]

The speed of light in a material is given by:
$v= \frac{c}{n}$
where
$c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light in vacuum
n is the refractive index of the material

The lens in this problem has a refractive index of n=1.50, therefore the speed of light in the lens is
$v= \frac{c}{n}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.50}=2 \cdot 10^8 m/s$

And the correct answer is C).
