If refractive index of glass is 1.65, What is the speed of light in glass?

Given Refractive index = n = 1.65
            speed of light in vaccum = 3*108 m s-1

Using,Refractive Index= speed of light in vaccum/ speed of light in glass

1.65 = 3*108 ms-1 / speed of light in glass
speed of light in glass = 3*108 /1.65
                                         =  1.8*108 m s-1

Therefore speed of light in glass is 1.8 *108 ms-1

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!!!!
