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
