What is refractive index


The refractive index of light can be define in the following ways
·         The refractive index of an object is te ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in the said medium
·         It the ratio velocity of light in a vacuum to the velocity of light in the said medium
 Given by  n =c/v

 Were n is the refractive index, c is the speed of light in a vacuum and v is the sped ina medium
