Question

what are the factors on which refractive index depends on
​

Answer 1

Answer:

● Refractive Index of a medium depends upon:

▪ The refractive index of the surroundings

▪ Optical density

▪ Wavelength of the light

▪ Temperature.

Answer 2

Answer:

Temperature. Refractive index values are usually determined at standard temperature.

Wavelength of light. The refractive index varies with wavelength linearly because different wavelengths interfere to different extents with the atoms of the medium.
