Refractometry is an analytical method based on the difference between the speed of light

Chapter 7, Problem 7.72

(choose chapter or problem)

Refractometry is an analytical method based on the difference between the speed of light as it travels through a substance (v) and its speed in a vacuum (c). In the procedure, light of known wavelength passes through a fixed thickness of the substance at a known temperature. The index of refraction equals c/v. Using yellow light (_ _ 589 nm) at 20_C, for example, the index of refraction of water is 1.33 and that of diamond is 2.42. Calculate the speed of light in (a) water and (b) diamond.
