| (documentation SpeedOfLightInMediumFn EnglishLanguage "(SpeedOfLightInMediumFn ?S) gives the speed of RadiatingElectromagnetic in a medium ?S. The phase velocity of light wave, a form of electromagnetic wave, travels through a medium is often represented in terms of a refractive index. The refractive index of a material is defined as the ratio of c to the phase velocity vp in the material: larger indices of refraction indicate lower speeds, where c is the speed of light in a vacuum. The refractive index of air is approximately 1.0003. Denser media, such as water, glass,and diamond,have refractive indexes of around 1.3, 1.5 and 2.4, respectively, for visible light.[Wikipedia]") |
