Refractive index:
The property of a material that determines the extents to which it causes ray of
light to be refracted.
Refractive index = speed of light in vacuum ÷ speed of light in medium

n=c÷v
As it is the ratio of two speeds so it has no unit. (it is just a number)

index of water is 1.33.
Calculate the speed of light in the water.

Refractive index of water = c/v

1.33 = 3.0 x 108 ÷ v
v = 3.0 x 108 ÷ 1.33

Refractive index in terms of angle of

incidence and angle of refraction:
Refraction from air to water
ni sin i = nr sin r
For air, ni = 1 ni : refractive index of air
nr : refractive index of water
So nr = sin i / sin r i: angle of incidence
r: angle of refraction
