Answer 1

When a ray of light goes from air into a clear material, you see the ray bend. How much the ray bends is determined by the Refractive Index of the material.

Explanation:

The refractive index is said to as a ratio between the velocity of light in a vacuum and velocity in a specific medium. To be precise, it is defined as the measurement of the bending ray of light when travels from one medium to another.  

From the above definition, refractive index, $n = \frac{(Velocity of light in vacuum)}{(Velocity in a specific medium)} = \frac{c}{v}$

It is the ratio between the sine of the angle of incidence and angle of refraction.

$\mathrm{n}=\frac{\sin (\text { angle od incidence })}{\sin (\text { angle of refraction })}=\frac{\sin t}{\sin t}$
