What is the speed of a light ray (f 5.09 x10 14 Hz) in corn oil?

2.04*10^8 m/s

Explanation: The absolute index of refraction of corn oil is 1.47.

n=c/v

v=c/n; c=3.00*10^8m/s and n=1.47

So you take c divide by n, (3.00*10^8m/s)/1.47 thne you will get about 2.04*10^8m/s

in simple terms, the principle states that the buoyancy force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or the density of the fluid multiplied by the submerged volume times the gravitational acceleration, g. this is also known as upthrust.
