Question

refractive index of air is ____
​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.0003

Explanation:

Some typical refractive indices for yellow light (wavelength equal to 589 nanometres [10−9 metre]) are the following: air, 1.0003; water, 1.333; crown glass, 1.517; dense flint glass, 1.655; and diamond, 2.417.

Answer 2

The Refractive index of air is 1.0003

• The Refractive index of air is constant.
• Refractive index is the measured value of bending of a ray when it passes through one medium to another.
• It is also called the index of refraction.
• The formula to find refractive index is n = c/v, where "v" is the velocity of the given medium, "c" is the velocity of light, and "n" is the refractive index of the medium.
