Radio waves travel in air at 3.0 x 108ms-1. If the waves enter water of refractive index (\frac{4}{3}), calculate the speed of radio waves in water

A
4.33 x 108ms-1
B
4.00 x 108ms-1
C
2.25 x 108ms-1
D
1.33 x 108ms-1

Correct Option: C

(_an_w = \frac{4}{3} = \frac{\text{speed of light in air}}{\text{speed of light in water}})

(\frac{4}{3} = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{x})

x = (\frac{9 \times 10^4}{4})

= 2.25 x 108m/s
