Question

Differentiate Absolute refractive index and Relative refractive index?

Answer 1

Relative refractive index: When light travels from one medium to another medium, then the refractive index is known as the relative refractive index. Absolute refractive index: When light travels from vacuum to another medium, then the refractive index is known as the absolute refractive index.

Answer 2

Relative refractive index: When light travels from one medium to another medium, then the refractive index is known as the relative refractive index.

Absolute refractive index: When light travels from vacuum to another medium, then the refractive index is known as the absolute refractive index.
