Question

The refractive index of a pair of medium depends upon the speed of light in ____. 

  1. The first medium 
  2. The second medium 
  3. Both the mediums 
  4. None of the mediums 

hintHint:

The refractive index depends on the speed of light in the mediums involved.

The correct answer is: Both the mediums 


    The refractive index depends on the speed of light in both the mediums.
    • The refractive index depends on the density and speed of light in mediums one and two.
    • The refractive index is the ratio of the speed of light in one medium with reference to another.
    • The speed of light varies depending on the density in both mediums.
