Detailed Solution

The formula may be used to determine the refractive index of any media., sinθ1sinθ2=v1v2=n2n1=n21. Now that we have the numbers for the speeds of light in air and glass, we can use this formula to get the refractive index of glass.

The difference between the speed of light in glass and the speed of light in a vacuum is known as the refractive index of glass.
Glass's index of refraction, ng= Speed of light in vacuum  Speed of light in glass 
Therefore, ng=3×1082×108=32.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.
