How fast will light travel through acrylic index of refraction of 1.49?
Rdeters
3.00 x 108/ 1.49 = 2.0134 x 108 m/s
Therefore light will travel through acrylic at 2.01 x 108 m/s.

What is the bending of light rays as it passes from one material into another?
Index Of Refraction
How does light bend when sent through acrylic in relation to the normal?
We can probably look up the index of refraction for acrylic somewhere. But in order to answer the question, we'd still have to know what medium the light is coming out of when it hits the acrylic. All the action takes place at the interface, and we have to know the conditions on both sides.
At what speed do electromagentic waves travel?
Index of refraction of air is very low, like 1.0003. The index of refraction is a function of wavelength. X-rays and gamma rays pass through air at c. c is 299,792,458 m/s, so speed of visible light in air is about 299,700,000 m/s.
Light travels three-fourths as fast through water as it does through a vacuum What is water's index of refraction?
1.331.33

What speed does light travel as it moves through glass with an index of refraction n equals 4.5?
It will travel with speed about 0.844 meter per second

How index of refraction measured?
angle at which light is bent when it passes through an object... not sure of the exact equation, i think it has something to do with theta and sine or cosine... someone else help?
Derive a mathematical expression for the index of refraction for acrylic using Snell's law for light travelling from air into acrylic.?

When light passes from a medium with a high index of refraction into a medium with a lower index of refraction which direction does the light bend?
A medium with a higher index of refraction, like diamond, is more dense than the medium with a lower index of refraction, like air. If the ray of light is moving from the less dense medium (lower index of refraction), to a more dense (higher index of refraction) the ray of light bends TOWARDS the normal.
What is the index of refraction used to measure?
The index of refraction is a unitless ratio. It has no units, it is a pure number.
