Question

State the factors on which the refractive index of a medium depends?​

Answer 1

Answer:

please mark me as brainliest

Explanation:

Refractive index of a medium depends upon the refractive index of the surroundings (when you consider the light ray passing from the surrounding into the medium), optical density, wavelength of the light and temperature.hope you understand

Answer 2

refractive index is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in one medium (vaccum) to the speed of light in a given medium. It is reprrsented by the Greek letter u( read as mu)

Explanation:

Refractive index (u) =speed of light in

medium vaccum/speed of light in medium2

1/1.33 Or 3/4 times it's speed in air
