How we can calculate the velocity of light in water?
The following assumes you already know the speed of light in a vacuum. You can do measurements related to refraction, applying Snell's law to the angles you measure. This gives you the index of refraction.Once you know the index of refraction, you divide the speed of light in the vacuum by the index of refraction, to obtain the speed of light in water.
How do you think increasing a medium's index of refraction might affect the angle of refraction?

How is the refractive index of glass is to water is related with that of air is to water?
Each substance has an index of refraction. The index of refraction of water is about 1.3330 . The index of refraction of air at standard conditions is about 1.0003 . There is no such thing as the index of refraction of "water to air".
What is the refraction index of oil?

What is a property of a material that indicates how much it reduces the speed of light?
well kids, the answer is INDEX OF REFRACTION. (: science question on my homework
When the mineral uvarovite has an index of refraction of 1.86. calculate the speed of light in this sample of uvarovite?
Use the definition of "index of refraction". In this case, you simply need to divide the speed of light in a vacuum by the index of refraction.

What is the bending of light rays as it passes from one material into another?
Index Of Refraction
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.

How is the index of refraction of a medium related to the speed light of in the medium?
c divided by the index of refraction of the medium = the speed of light in the medium.
does light travels three-fourths as fast through water as it does a vacuum. what is water's index in refraction?
Water's index of refraction is 1.333
The index of refraction for a vacuum is?
the index of refraction essentially compares the velocity of a wave in 2 different medium to the calculate the angle with which the wave will diverge from its original path, so unless u give the other medium your wave is entering the vacuum from the question is nonsensical, hopefully this helped u.
