I'll assume that this is the critical angle from the median to a vaccum.
You use Snell's law, n1sin(x1) = n2sin(x2)
where n1 = index of refraction of your median, n2 = 1 (the index of refraction in a vaccum), x1 = the critical angle (45 degrees), x2 = 90 degrees since light comes out at 90 degrees when it is shone on the critical angle.
So...
n1sin(45 degrees) = 1 (sin 90 = 1)
n1 = 1/sin(45 degrees)
n1 = 1.414...
Now the index of refraction is the speed of light in a vaccum over the speed of light in the median so:
1.414... = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / v
v = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / 1.414...
v= 2.1 x 10^8 m/s
The speed of light is approximately 186,282.397 miles per second or 299792458 metre per second.
83,827.07865 miles per second.
speed of light I think well it sounds right:)
The speed of light in water is less than the speed of light in space. Only light can travel at the speed of light.
The speed of light is about 880 thousand timesfaster than the speed of sound.
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
It is believed that the speed of light is the highest possible speed.

The velocity of light in vacuum is 299,792,458km/s, for daily calculation it's considered as 300000km/s, so put the distance and "C"(velocity of light) in speed and distance equation and you will get the answer.[time=distance/speed]"atul ashish"
Strange as it may seem, the speed of all electromagnetic waves was predicted longbefore it was ever measured. After the speed was predicted, measurements of light-speed supported the growing suspicion that light is electromagnetic radiation, becausethe measured speed was so close to the predicted speed.Measuring the speed of light is not easy, and several clever methods had to be inventedin order to do it. Calculus was almost certainly used at many points in the applicationof these methods.
Calculation for speed
Only if speed is constant. There can be no acceleration if the average speed is equal to the instantaneous speed.
it should be 3x10^8 m s^(-1). here is the calculation: we have known that the refractive index of vacuum is 1, by n= v/c ( n stands for refractive index of medium, v stands for the speed of light in medium, c stands for speed of light constant) 1=v/3X10^8 m s^(-1) v= therefore, speed of light in vacuum is 3x10^8 m s^(-1) actually, all light ray in electromagnetic spectrum have same speed in vacuum

Is what the speed of light or light speed.ANSWER300,000 km/s
You can't go that fast. That would be faster than the speed of light. Anyway, for a hypothetical calculation, divide the distance by the speed.
Yes because, the speed of sound has a mathematical equation that has been proven to be 100% accurate. Man doesn't have to be present in order for it to exist. Just like the speed of light has an actual calculation and so does the speed of sound.
