Answer:
Refractive index has the large number of applications. It is mostly applied for identify a particular substance, confirm its purity, or measure its concentration. Generally it is used to measure the concentration of a solute in an aqueous solution.
the ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to its velocity in a specified medium.
