If the speed of light in vacuum is 3×108 m/s, the absolute refractive index of another medium in which light travels with a speed of 1.4×108 m/s is 2.14.
It has been given that,
Speed of light in vacuum,  c=3 ×108 m/s Speed of light in medium,  v=1.4×108 m/s
Absolute refractive index = Speed of light in vacuumSpeed of light in medium
=3×1081.4×108
=2.14
