Light travels in a vacuum and then enters a transparent crystal block. The speed of the light in the crystal block is 1.5 × 108 m s-1.
Which statement about the speed of light is correct?
The speed in a vacuum is 2.02.02.0 times the speed in the crystal.
The speed in the crystal is the same as the speed in a vacuum.
The speed in the crystal is 2.02.02.0 times the speed in a vacuum.
The speed in the crystal is 1.5×1081.5 \times 10^81.5×108 times the speed in a vacuum.
