The absolute refractive index of a medium is the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in the medium . In this scenario , the numerator will always be greater than the denominator . Thus , absolute refractive index can never be less than one .

hey mate here is ur ans.
Any medium having a refractive index below 1 would violate something which has that often be proven that we can quite savely assume it is a nature of law. Thus, asoluterefractive index of a medium cannot be less than unity.
hope it helps....
