Detailed Solution

Refractive index of medium= speed of light in air or vacuumspeed of light in medium

That means the speed of light is inversely proportional to the refractive index.

Therefore, if the refractive index of medium 2 with respect to medium 1 is greater than 1 then it implies that the speed of light in medium 2 < speed of light in medium 1.
