Index of refraction value

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-04-22] [Hit: ]
The difference of refraction between two mediums or something....?3.......
It says index of refraction value

And then it has this formula

n (material) = 3.00 x 10 ^8 m/s divided by v (material)

n (material) and v (material)... what is this formula finding? The difference of refraction between two mediums or something....?

-
n(material) is the refractive index of the material
v(material) is the velocity of light in that material
3.00 * 10^8 m/s is the velocity of light in a vacuum (c)

It's telling you that the slower light travels through a material, the bigger the material's refractive index.
