The index of refraction for material 1 is 1.36; for material 2 it is 1.66. Light travels 1.5 m in the firstmaterial before hitting the second material, where it travels another 1.5 m. What is the total timetaken for the light to travel the total distance? Speed of light c = 2.998 x 108 m/sTotal time in the two materials == 1.51SReflect on the order of magntitude of this time. Is this a perceptible time delay?! No, that's not the correct answer.

To calculate the total time taken for light to travel the given distance, we'll use the formula for…
