Sin Li / Sin Lr o Purity o Angle of Incidence – Angle between o Viscosity the ray in the first medium o Specific gravity o Angle of Refraction – corresponding o Mixing ratio angle on the second medium o Rxn tracing A value calculated from the ratio of the speed o Polymerization of light in a vacuum to that in a second o Properties medium of greater density. o Ripeness The refractive index variable is most commonly symbolized by the letter n or n' in ABBE REFRACTOMETER descriptive text and mathematical equations. In Optics a dimensionless number that describes how fast light travels through the material. It is defined as: n = c / v o where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the phase velocity of light in the medium. For example, the refractive index of water is 1.333, meaning that light travels 1.333 times ATAGO REFRACTOMETER as fast in vacuum as in water. Increasing refractive index corresponds to decreasing speed of light in the material. Refraction of a Light Ray Portable Refractometer RA 130 Kem Kyoto Electronics Manufacturing Co. Ltd.
