Is my calculation for the speed of light through water correct?

[wakejosh]

Homework Statement

what is the speed of light through water? (the index of refraction is 1.333)

Homework Equations

speed of light/speed of light in X = index of refraction of X

The Attempt at a Solution

3x10^8/x = 1.333

x= 2.25 x 10^8


just looking for a double check to make sure I did this right. thanks,

Based on your calculation, it appears that you have correctly calculated the speed of light through water using the given index of refraction. However, it is always a good idea to double check your work and make sure that your calculation is consistent with known values for the speed of light through water. You can also use online resources or consult with a colleague to confirm your result. Additionally, it is important to include units in your calculation (e.g. meters per second) to ensure accuracy and clarity.
