It is given that the speed of light in a transparent medium is 2.44 x 10^8 m / s.
From the properties of light, we know that the refractive index of a medium is the ratio of speed of light in vaccum to the speed of light the given medium.
We know that speed of light in vaccum is 3 x 10^8 m / s.
Therefore,
= > Refractive of the transparent medium = ( speed of light in vaccum ) / ( speed of light in that medium )
= > Refractive of the transparent medium = ( 3 x 10^8 m / s ) / ( 2.44 x 10^8 m / s )
= > Refractive of the transparent medium = 3 / 2.44
= > Refractive of the transparent medium = 1.23
Hence the refractive of the transparent medium is 1.23.
