Answer:

The value of the absolute refractive index can never be less than 1. This is so because light travels with the fastest speed in a vacuum. The lower value of the absolute refractive index indicates a denser medium while a higher value indicates rarer medium.

Answer:

Absolute refractive index is the refractive index of medium in vacuum. More specifically it is the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in that medium. It is always greater than one. It have no unit b/c the units cancel out when calculating the value.
