  • The ratio of the speed of light in the vacuum to the speed of light in the medium is known as the absolute refractive index of any media.
  • The absolute refractive index is always larger than one because light travels at its fastest rate in a vacuum.
  • Any medium has an absolute refractive index μ = cvthat is higher than 1.
  • Due to the fact that the speed of light in any medium is always slower than the speed in a vacuum (i.e. μ < C).
