    b) 2.26*10^8 m/s

    Explanation:

    let n be the refractive index, v be the speed of light in water.

    then, the refractive index is given by:

    n = c/v

    v = c/n

    = (3*10^8) / (1.33)

    = 2.26*10^8 m/s

    Therefore, the speed of light in water is moving with a speed of 2.26*10^8 m/s.
