Answer:
Refractive Index (Index of Refraction) is a value calculated from the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to that in a second medium of greater density. The refractive index variable is most commonly symbolized by the letter n or n' in descriptive text and mathematical equations.......

Hey mate ,
RI = C / V
Where C is speed of light in vaccum
and V stands for speed of light in given medium
Also ,
The physical density of a material refers to the mass/volume ratio. Optical density determines how much a light wave is slowed down as it passes through a medium. The more optically dense a material is, the slower that a wave will move through the material. The refractive index is a measurement of optical density.
Hope you find it helpful!!!!
