In optics, an object which has a higher refractive index is optically denser.
True
One medium is said to be rarer and the other medium denser. when the refractive index of one medium 1 is greater than the other medium 2.
Suppose refractive index of air μa is 1 and the refractive index of water μw is 1.33 then water is optically denser medium than air.
