Question

Which of the following has the minimum value of refractive index?

  1. Glass
  2. Water
  3. Air
  4. Kerosene 

hintHint:

Refractive index is the measure of the bending of a ray of light when passing from one medium into another.

The correct answer is: Air


    •  Refractive index is the measure of the bending of a ray of light when passing from one medium into another.
    • The minimum value of Refractive Index is 1 that is of air.
    • Air has the lowest refractive index of 1 which indicates that light travels fastest through air as compared to any other medium.
