Medium A speed s
Medium B speed s2
Refractive index a to b s/s2 and b to a s/s2
This is called Snell's law of refraction
Medium B speed s2
Refractive index a to b s/s2 and b to a s/s2
This is called Snell's law of refraction

Answer:
Explanation:
Refractive index of medium A with respect to medium B = speed of light in medium B/speed of light in medium A
nAB = vB/vA
When the medium B is vacuum, vB = c the speed of light in vacuum.
nA =c/vA
This constant is called the absolute refractive index of medium A.
