Suppose light travels 15 times faster in a vacuum than it does in glass What is the index of refraction for glass Express your answer as a decimal?
Berry420
The index of refraction is precisely how much faster light travels in a vacuum than in the given medium. In this case, 15. Or perhaps you meant 1.5, which would be more typical for glass - answers.com sometimes eliminates some symbols from the questions.

What phenomenon causes rainbow?
The refraction of light through water. Basically light travels through a surface such as water and the different light spectrums get broken down giving you the colors you see.
Which travels sound or light?
Both light and sound travel. Light travels the fastest.
What travels on through solids?
Neutrinos.
Travels to us through compression waves?
Sound is a form energy that travels to us through compressional (or longitudinal) waves.
What is the space that a lightning bolt travels is called what?
what
What is called light that can be bent when it travels?
Refraction.
When does refraction happen?
Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another having different optical densities.
What is it called when light travels through the lens of a telescope?
Refraction
What is it called when ligh travels from one medium to another?
Refraction.
When light is bent as it travels through an object it is called?
Refraction
What does light do when it travels from one material to another?
Refraction is what light does when it travels from one material to another. Refraction is when the light changes direction because it is passing through one medium to another.
Light travels faster in a material with a lower index of refraction.?
true
What is called when light travels through two things and bends?
Refraction
What type of energy travels in a compression wave?
by refraction
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
Why refraction of a wave occurs when the wave travels from one material into another?
The change in wave speed causes refraction sinv1/v1 = sinv2/v2.
When lights travels from medium into another the light beam can be bent this refers to?
this might be refraction
