Homework Statement


what is the speed of light through water? (the index of refraction is 1.333)


Homework Equations


speed of light/speed of light in X = index of refraction of X


The Attempt at a Solution



3x10^8/x = 1.333

x= 2.25 x 10^8


just looking for a double check to make sure I did this right. thanks,
