Answer:

The more is the refractive index the less will be the speed of light

Explanation:

As the refracrive index decides the density of the medium which means the more will be the refractive index the more will be rhe density of the medium and we know that light passes slower in denser medium than rarer medium

Answer:

Refractive Index of a medium for a light of given wavelength may be defined as the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in that medium.
