Use the Examine button icon in the top menue to identify the maximum amplitude of vibration from the position vs. time plot and record it on the Report Sheet. Find the period of vibration by determining the time it takes the mass to complete one vibration. Do this by measuring the time it takes to complete a number of vibrations and dividing by that number.

Explanation:

Below are attachments containing the question and solution.

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.

snell's law

refractve index = sin incidence / sin refraction
