what is difference between relative and refrective index
Answers
Explanation:
The refractive index of a medium with respect to another medium is defined as the ratio of speed of light in first medium to the speed of light in second medium
absolute refractive index is the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in a medium is called absolute refractive index with respect to vacuum
relative refractive index=refractive index of second medium[n2]/refractive index of first medium[n1]
absolute refractive index=speed of light in vacuum[c]/speed of light in that medium[n]
Answer:
the relative and absolute refractive index. The absolute refractive index is defined as a ratio of the speed of light in vacuum and in selected medium. ...
Relative refractive index is defined as a ratio of speeds of light in two different media.
