“Refraction is the change in the direction of a wave passing from one medium to another.”
Speed of light in vacuum = 3.0 x 108m/s
Speed of light in water = 2.25 x 108m/s
Refractive index of water = ?
We know that,
Refractive index of water = speed of light in vacuum/speed of light in water
Refractive index of water = 3 x 108/2.25 x 108 = 1.33
