Visible light can also be considered as one small section of the electromagnetic wave spectrum. Different colors have different wave lengths and different frequencies. However, all of the electromagnetic waves move at the speed of light, c, which has in vacuum and air a value of 3.0x108 m/s. The Index of Refraction, n The speed of light in any other material is less than the speed of light in vacuum by a factor of 1/n with n being the index of refraction for a specific material. n = 1.000 is the index of refraction in vacuum, n = 1.0003 is the index of refraction in air. speed of light in a specific material = Cn=c/n = speed of light in vacuum/index of refraction Copy and Paste the questions below into the submit box before answering them. Q5. What is the index of refraction in water? What is the speed of light in water? Q6. Find out what the distance between the Sun and the Earth is. Calculate from this distance and the speed of light how long it takes the light to travel from the Sun to come to the Earth.
