Document Summary
The proportion between the speeds of light in medium to speed in a vacuum is the refractive index. At the point when light goes in a medium other than the vacuum, the molecules of that medium ceaselessly absorb and again emit the particles of light, which reduces the speed light. In this article, let us examine the refractive index of water and other different mediums. Refractive list is additionally alluded to as refraction index or index of refraction. The speed of light in a medium relies upon the properties of the medium. In electromagnetic waves, the speed is subject to the optical density of the medium. Optical density is the tendency of the molecules in a material to reestablish the absorbed electromagnetic energy. The more optically thick material is the slower is the speed of light. One such mark of the optical density of a medium is the refractive index.
