Edward and Calil do some experiments to determine the speed of light in a special transparent material. They determine the speed of light to be 0.63c. Edward shines a light thru the material. Determine the critical angle in degrees for the light ray if there is a chamber of air above the material. Please give your answer as a whole number. (c is the speed of light in vacuum)

The speed of light in a material is 0.37c. What is the critical angle of a light ray at the interface between the material and a vacuum?
Austin did a measurement for the speed of light in an experiment. He found that the speed of light is 4.0 x 1018 m/s in air. When Nancy Drew saw his result, she immediately informed him that he made a mistake. How did Nancy know? O Light cannot have a speed. O His result would be correct if the experiment was done under water. O His result would be correct, if the light medium was in vacuum, but not in air. O None of the choices is correct. O Speed of light cannot be greater than 3 x 108 m/s.
The speed of light in a vacuum is 3 x 108 m/s. What is the ratio of its speed in water (n = 1.33) to its speed in a vacuum? Enter your answer as a percentage
In 1676, the Danish astronomer Ole Roemer had one of those “aha” moments in science. He concluded from accumulated observations of eclipses of Jupiter’s moon at different times of the year that light must travel at finite speed and needed 1300 s to cross the diameter of Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Using 300,000,000 1cm for the diameter of Earth’s orbit, calculate the speed of light based on Roemer’s 1300-s estimate. How does it differ from a modern value for the speed of light?
