    The idex of refraction of the medium is 1.31.

    Explanation:

    the relationship between the index of refraction of a medium and the speed at which light travels is given by:

    n = c/v

    where n is the index of refraction, c is the speed of light and v is the speed of light in the medium.

    n = c/v

    = (3*10^8) / (2.290*10^8)

    = 1.31

    Therefore, the idex of refraction of the medium is 1.31.
