Refractive index (n) of a medium is given by

[tex]n=\frac{c}{v};[/tex]

Here n= refractive index;

c= speed of light in vaccum

v= speed of light in medium.

According to problem

[tex]\begin{gathered} n=\frac{c}{v}\begin{cases}c={3\times10^8}\frac{m}{s} \\ n={1.50}\end{cases} \\ \\ \therefore\text{ 1.50=}\frac{3\times10^8}{v} \\ \therefore v\text{ = }\frac{3\times10^8}{1.50}=\text{ 2}\times10^8m\text{ /s;} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Final answer is

[tex]undefined[/tex]
