Given, Refractive index of glass = 1.5 Speed of light in air = $3.0 \times 10^8 $m/ s$\text{Refractive index of glass}=\frac{\text{Speed of light in air}}{\text{Speed of light in glass}}$
$1.5=\frac{3\times10^8}{\text{Speed of light in glass}}$
$\text{Speed of light in glass}=2\times10^8\text{m/ s}$
$1.5=\frac{3\times10^8}{\text{Speed of light in glass}}$
$\text{Speed of light in glass}=2\times10^8\text{m/ s}$
