Detailed Solution

"The absolute refractive index of a medium is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in the medium."
The ratio of the speed of light travelling from one medium to another medium gives the refractive index of the second medium relative to the first medium. “The refractive index is the measure of the bending of a light ray while passing from one medium to another.” And can be formulated as
Refractive Index of the medium, µm=Speed of light in vacuumSpeed of light in medium
