Refractive index of medium $=\frac{6}{5}=1.2$ Speed of light in air = 3, 00, 000km/ s We know that$\text{Refractuive index of the medium}=\frac{\text{Speed of light in air}}{\text{Speed of light in medium }}$
$1.2=\frac{300000}{\text{speed of light medium}}$
${\text{Speed of light in medium}}=250000\text{km/ s}$
