Cerenkov Radiation occurs when the electron travels over the speed of light in crown gl, which is c/n, or about 2x10^8 m/s. Now, use the definition of KE as mc^2/gamma - mc^2 using c=3x10^8 m/s and gamma's v as 2x10^8 m/s^2. This gives about 2.797x10^(-14) Joules, or about 174 578.067 electron volts.
