-A light beam in air travels at $2.99 \times 10 ^ { 8 }$ meters per second. If its angle of incidence to a second medium is $42 ^ { \circ }$ and its angle of refraction in the second medium is $32 ^ { \circ }$ , what is its speed in the second medium (to two decimal places) ?

• A) \(1.58 \times 10 ^ { 8 } \mathrm { mps }\)
• B) \(3.78 \times 10 ^ { 8 } \mathrm { mps }\)
• C) \(2.37 \times 10 ^ { 8 }\) mps
• D) \(2.00 \times 10 ^ { 8 } \mathrm { mps }\)
