Answer:
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.

Answer:
The degree of bending of the light's path depends on the angle that the incident beam of light makes with the surface of the prism, and on the ratio between the refractive indices of the two media. This is called Snell's law. where, n is the refractive index of the material of the prism.
