Question

What is the unit of refractive index?

Answer 1

Answer:

No units....

Refractive index has no units because the refractive index is the ***ratio*** of the speed of light within the material of interest divided by the speed of light in a vacuum, thus the consistent units of measure (meters per second, or kilometers per second, etc.)

hope it helps ☺❤✔
