Questions and Answers

What is the relationship between absolute refractive index and relative refractive index?

  • $μ_{21} = rac{μ_2}{μ_1}$ (correct)
  • $μ_{21} = μ_2 * μ_1$
  • $μ_{21} = μ_2 + μ_1$
  • $μ_{21} = μ_2 - μ_1$
  • The refractive index is a dimensionless quantity.

    True

    What is the formula for calculating the absolute refractive index of medium 2?

    $μ_2 = \frac{C}{V_2}$

    The formula for relative refractive index is $μ_{21} = \frac{V_1}{V_2}$, where V_1 represents the velocity of light in ______.
