What is the formula for calculating the refractive index?
refractive index = speed of light in medium / speed of light in vacuum
refractive index = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium
refractive index = sin i / sin r
refractive index = sin r / sin i
स्पष्टीकरण
The refractive index is calculated by dividing the speed of light in a vacuum by the speed of light in the medium.
