Detailed Solution

The speed of light in the dense flint glass is 1.82 × 108 m/s.
The absolute refractive index (n) of any material is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in that particular medium.
We know
n=cv
where n = absolute refractive index of the medium
c = speed of light in vacuum
v = speed of light in that medium
Using this relation, we can find the speed of light in flint glass.
v=cn
 v=3 × 1081.65
 v= 1.82 × 108  m/s
