The refractive index of water, \sf{n_w} = 1.33.

This means that the ratio of the speed of light in air and the speed of light in water is equal to 1.33

hey mate!!

refractive index simply means densarness of medium .

here,

refractive index of of water i.e 1 33 means ratio of velocity of light in vaccum to the velocity of light in water is 1.33

also,

u can say... light travels 1.33 times faster in in vaccum as it does in water.

hope it will help you...
