प्रश्न
Express the refractive index μ of a medium in terms of the angle of incidence i in air and the angle of refraction r in a denser medium.

उत्तर
If light travels from air into another denser medium, the refractive index ‘μ’ of the medium.
`μ="Sine of the angle of incidence in air"/"Sine of the angle of refraction in the denser medium"`
`μ=sin i/sin r`
