Refractive index of glass is 3/2 states that the velocity of a light beam entering the glass from the air or vacuum is 2/3 that of light in the air or vacuum.

Explanation

Definition:

In optics, a material's refractive index, often known as its index of refraction, is a dimensionless quantity that characterizes how light propagates through it.

Equation:

It is defined as n=c / v where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the phase velocity of light in the medium.

Example:

  • Glass has a refractive index of 1.5, which means light travels 1.5 times slower in glass than it does in vacuum.
  • When light enters a material, the refractive index influences how much the path of light is bent, or refracted.
  • Snell's Law of Refraction describes the first reported application of refractive indices.
