Answer:
Refractive index, also called index of refraction, measure of the bending of a ray of light when passing from one medium into another. ... 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.

Explanation:
In optics, the refractive index or index of refraction of a material is a dimensionless number that describes how fast light travels through the material. It is defined as
{\displaystyle n={\frac {c}{v}},}n={\frac {c}{v}},
where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the phase velocity of light in the medium. For example, the refractive index of water is 1.333, meaning that light travels 1/1.333 times as fast in vacuum as in water. Increasing refractive index corresponds to decreasing speed of light in the material.
