The Speed of yellow light( from a sodium lamp) in a certain liquid is measured to be 1.92E8 m/s. What is the index of refraction of this liquid for the light?

The index of refraction for yellow light in a sodium lamp is 1.92E8m/s.
The index of refraction refers to how much a material bends or slows down light as it passes through it.
The index of refraction for a material is determined by measuring the speed of light as it passes through the material and comparing it to the speed of light in a vacuum.
The index of refraction is important for sodium lamps because it affects how the light is bent and directed within the lamp, ultimately determining the color and intensity of the light produced.
Yes, the index of refraction for a material can change depending on factors such as temperature, pressure, and the wavelength of light passing through it.
