In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 580 nm travels in air from a laser

Question

In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 580 nm travels in air from a laser to a photocell in a time of 16.9 ns. When a slab of glass with a thickness of 0.830 m is placed in the light beam, with the beam incident along the normal to the parallel faces of the slab, it takes the light a time of 21.6 ns to travel from the laser to the photocell. What is the wavelength of the light in the glass? Use 3.00 Times 10^8 m/s for the speed of light in a vacuum. Express your answer using two significant figures.
