Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for calculating the index of refraction is expressed as
n = c/v
where
n is the index of refraction
v is the speed of light in the medium
c is the speed of light in vacuum and its value is 3 x 10^8 m/s
From the information given,
v = 2.76 x 10^8 m/s
Thus,
n = 3 x 10^8 m/s/2.76 x 10^8 m/s
n = 1.09
the index of refraction of the medium is 1.09
