How is the refractive index of a medium related to the speed of light? Obtain an expression for the refractive index of a medium with respect to another in terms of speed of light in these two media?

The Refractive Index can be seen as a factor in reducing the speed and length of radiation in relation to vacuum values.

w = civ

where,

n- Refractive index

c – Speed of light

v- Velocity

The ratio of the light speed in the second medium to the light speed in the first medium is the refractive index of one medium in relation to a second medium.
