Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem.
Light of wavelength 591 nm in vacuum passes through a
piece of fused quartz of index of refraction n =
1.458.
(a) Find the speed of light in fused
quartz.
m/s

(b) What is the wavelength of this light in
fused quartz?
nm

(c) What is the frequency of the light in
fused quartz?
Hz
EXERCISE HINTS: GETTING
STARTED | I'M STUCK!
Light with wavelength 505 nm passes through
crystalline sodium chloride. (The index of refraction of sodium
chloride is 1.544.)
(a) Find the speed of light in this medium.
v = m/s

(b) Find the wavelength of the light.
𝜆n = nm

(c) Find the frequency of the light.
f = Hz
