An electromagnetic wave, whose wave normal makes an angle of $$45^{\circ}$$ with the vertical, travelling in air strikes a horizontal liquid surface. While travelling through the liquid it gets deviated through $$15^{\circ}$$. What is the speed of the electromagnetic wave in the liquid, if the speed of electromagnetic wave in air is $$3 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$$ ? $$\left(\sin 30^{\circ}=0.5, \sin 45^{\circ}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$$
- A$$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3} \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$$
- B$$1.5 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$$
- C$$2.1 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$$
- D$$2.5 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$$
