Question

Name the physical quantity with which refractive index of a medium can be related.

Answer 1

Dear Student,

Refractive index of a medium is related to the speed of light in that medium through the following relationship :

$\mathrm{Refractive}\mathrm{Index}=\frac{\mathrm{Speed}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{light}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{vacuum}}{\mathrm{speed}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{light}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{medium}}$
