regarding speed of light
Asked by | 03 Apr, 2008, 04:13: PM
Expert Answer
In the case of an electromagnetic wave, the speed of the wave depends upon the optical density of that material. The optical density of a material relates to the sluggish tendency of the atoms of a material to maintain the absorbed energy of an electromagnetic wave in the form of vibrating electrons before reemitting it as a new electromagnetic disturbance. The more optically dense which a material is, the slower that a wave will move through the material.
optical density = 3 x 108/ vmaterial
