Answer:
Refractive index, also called index of refraction, measure of the bending of a ray of light when passing from one medium into another. ... Refractive index is also equal to the velocity of light c of a given wavelength in empty space divided by its velocity v in a substance, or n = c/v.
I hope this may help you

Answer:
The refractive index of a medium with respect to vacuum is called its absolute refractive index. it changes the direction of a light ray while entering different media is different. it is related to the refractive index of the medium.
Refractive index depends on the velocity of light in the medium.
