Answer: 2.04*10^8 m/s

Explanation: The absolute index of refraction of corn oil is 1.47.

n=c/v

v=c/n; c=3.00*10^8m/s and n=1.47

So you take c divide by n, (3.00*10^8m/s)/1.47 thne you will get about 2.04*10^8m/s

The speed of the light ray in the corn oil is 2.04×10⁸ m/s

Speed of light

This is the speed at which light travels in space. It has a constant value of 3×10⁸ m/s

How to determine the speed of light in corn oil

  • Refraction index (n) = 1.47
  • Speed of light in space (c) = 3×10⁸ m/s
  • Speed of light in corn oil (v) =?

n = c / v

1.47 = 3×10⁸ / v

Cross multiply

1.47 × v = 3×10⁸

Divide both side by 1.47

v = 3×10⁸ / 1.47

v = 2.04×10⁸ m/s

Thus, the speed of light in corn oil is 2.04×10⁸ m/s
