Answer:
The refractive index can be seen as the factor by which the speed and the wavelength of the radiation are reduced with respect to their vacuum values: the speed of light in a medium is v = c/n, and similarly the wavelength in that medium is λ = λ0/n, where λ0 is the wavelength of that light in vacuum.

Answer:
The relation between wavelength and refractive index is:
Refractive index, n = fraccv
Where,
c is the velocity of light in vacuum
v is the velocity of light in a medium
We know that,
v = fλ
Where,
f is the frequency
λ is the wavelength
Substituting v in the refractive index, we get
n = fraccflambda
Therefore, it can be said that the refractive index is inversely proportional to the wavelength
