What do you mean by refractive index of two mediums
Anonymous:
It is a property of medium thAt at what extent does it bend the light
actually it never bend due to change in velocity a ray light is deviated from its path when it falls on the surface of second medium
deviation from light from its path considered as bending
of*
Ya ya due to change in velocity light bends
And change in velocity is due to medium
So bending is due to medium

Refractive index, also calledindex of refraction, measure of the bending of a ray of light when passing from one medium into another. If i is the angle of incidence of a ray in vacuum(angle between the incoming ray and the perpendicular to the surface of a medium, called the normal) and r is the angle ofrefraction (angle between the ray in the medium and the normal), the refractive index n is defined as the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction; i.e., n = sini / sin r. Refractive index is also equal to the velocity of light c of a given wavelength in empty space divided by its velocity v in a substance, or n = c/v.
