Question

differenciate between relative refractive index and absolute refractive index

Answer 1

RELATIVE REFRACTIVE INDEX

when light is travelling from one medium to another then the refractive index is known as relative refractive index

ABSOLUTE REFRACTIVE INDEX

when the light travels from vacuum to another medium then it is known as absolute refractive index

Answer 2

We distinguish between the relative and absolute refractive index. The absolute refractive index is defined as a ratio of the speed of light in vacuum and in selected medium. ... Relative refractive index is defined as a ratio of speeds of light in two different media.
