The critical angle of refraction for calcite is 68.4 when it forms a boundary with water. Use this information to determine the speed of light in Calcite. Assume the refractive index of water, 1.333, is less than the refractive index of calcite.

    Using Snell's law with

    N2=1.33 for water

    N1 sin A1 = N2 sin A2 = N2

    N1 = 1.33/sinA

    so, the speed of light in clctie = (3*10^8 m/s) / 1.43

    = 1*10^8 m/s
