Question

Explain refractive index in detail.

Answer 1

Answer:

In optics, the refractive index of a material is a dimensionless number that describes how fast light travels through the material.

Answer 2

Answer:

hii dude

Explanation:

• refractive index is a measure for bending the ability of light more the value of refractive index offer medium then it means it will bend the light more .
• more refractive index means that it is optically denser and speed of light is low through it .
• when a Ray of light travel obliquely from one transparent medium to another it change its direction in second medium
• in simple words refractive index is the relative speed of light in two media
• when light enters from rarer medium to denser medium it bends towards the normal and when it enters from denser medium to rarer medium it bends away the normal
