    The refractive index of second medium with respect to the first medium is given by which formula?
    Question

    The refractive index of second medium with respect to the first medium is given by which formula?

    A.

    The product of the speed of light in first medium and the speed of light in the second medium.

    B.

    The sum of the speed of light in the first medium and the speed of light in the second medium

    C.

    Ratio of speed of light in second medium to speed of light in first medium.

    D.

    Ratio of speed of light in first medium to speed of light in second medium.

    Correct option is D

    · The refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first medium, denoted as n21, is given by the ratio of the speed of light in the first medium (v1) to the speed of light in the second medium (v2​).
    Formula:
    n21 = v1/v2​​
    Explanation:
    · The refractive index n21​ is a measure of how much the light bends when it passes from the first medium into the second medium.
    · It is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in the first medium (v1​) to the speed of light in the second medium (v2​​​).
