Answer

Speed of light in condensate is $v=19.108m/s$

Work Step by Step

refractive index is defined as $n=\frac{c}{v}$ $c$=speed of light in vacuum $v$= speed of light in material we can rewrite above equation as $v=\frac{c}{n}$ refractive index for Bose Einstein condensate is given as $n=1.57\times10^{7}$ speed of light in vacuum $c=3\times10^8m/s$ speed of light in condensate will be $v=\frac{c}{n}=\frac{3\times10^8m/s}{1.57\times10^{7}}=1.9108\times10m/s$ speed of light in condensate is $v=19.108m/s$
