प्रश्न
Express the refractive index μ of a medium in terms of the velocity of light.

उत्तर
The refractive index ‘μ’ of an optical medium is defined as the ratio between the velocity of light in vacuum divided by the velocity of light in the given optical medium. Thus,
`µ="Velocity of light in vacuum"/"Velocity of light in the given optical medium"`
