question 33

Multiple Choice

Light enters the smooth,flat surface of a block of glass from the vacuum of space (e.g.,a spacecraft window) .What is the speed of light inside the glass compared with that in a vacuum?

• A) The speed will depend on the angle that the light ray makes with the perpendicular to the surface, becoming slower as the angle increases.
• B) The speed will be the same because the speed of light is always constant, by definition.
• C) The speed will be faster because the glass is denser than the vacuum.
• D) The speed will be slower because the glass is denser than the vacuum.
