    This document lists various materials and their corresponding refractive indices. Refractive index is a measure of how light propagates through a material, with air having the lowest at 1.0003 and diamond having the highest at 2.42. Common materials like water and glass have refractive indices between 1.3-1.5, while denser materials like ruby and sapphire range from 1.7-1.77 and diamond is much higher at 2.42.
