Homework Statement
How do you find the time it takes for light to travel 54 cm through glycerin (index of refraction = 1.470 at 20˚C) in an aquarium?
Homework Equations
These equations might be useful: v= 331 m/s + (0.59 m/s/c˚)(T) niSinθi=nRSinθR
The Attempt at a Solution
v= 331 m/s + (0.59 m/s/c˚)(20˚C)
v= 331 m/s + 11.8 m/s
v= 342.8 m/s
Δt= 0.54 m ÷ 342.8 m/s = 0.0015752 s
But this isn't the right answer
