Answer:-
The refractive index of medium 2 with respect to medium 1 is given by the ratio of speed of light in medium 1 and in medium 2 can be represented as: n21=v2v1.

Answer:
The refractive index of a medium (n) is equal to the speed of light (c) divided by the velocity of light through the medium (v). Rearranging the equation allows us to see the relationship regarding v. The lower the refractive index, the faster the velocity of light. Medium A has the smaller refractive index
