Answer 1

Explanation:

Refractive index, also called index of refraction, measure of the bending of a ray of light when passing from one medium into another. ... Refractive index is also equal to the velocity of light c of a given wavelength in empty space divided by its velocity v in a substance, or n = c/v.

Answer 2

Refractive index is the measure of bending of a light ray when passing from one medium to another.

In denser medium refractive index is high while in a rarer medium refractive index is low.
