    What is the equation for calculating the speed of light in different mediums?

    nopers, the speed of light remains unchanged through all medium. the frequency also remains unchanged through all medium, and therefore its wavelength as well. the only thing that changes with the index of refraction is the angle of refraction i.e. the angle at which light leaves the...
