Light Speed and Refraction Calculations

The document outlines a science activity involving calculations related to the speed of light in different mediums, the refractive index of substances based on their speed of light, and the angle of refraction when light passes from air into various materials. It includes specific values for the refractive indices of water, diamond, and plexiglass, as well as examples of speed and incidence angles. Students are required to solve these problems and show their solutions.
