Question

The absolute refractive index of a medium is the ratio of the speed of light in the ____ and ____.

  1. Glass and the medium
  2. Water and the medium
  3. Air and the medium
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

Refractive index of Air/ refractive index of medium

The correct answer is: Air and the medium


    • The absolute refractive index is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in a air to the speed of light in the given medium.
    • So, the correct option is c.
