Refractive Index: Refractive Index formula is use to find the change of speed of light as it travels from air into glass. It measure how much light slows down when it enters denser medium such as glass. The formulae is written as: To find out the refractive index‚ substitute these into the equation; The speed of light travels in air is 3 x 10^8-1 The speed of light travels in glass is 2 x 10^8 ms^-1 Refractive Index (Glass): 3 x 10^8 / 2 x 10^8 = 1.5 When light enters glass‚ its reflective index is 1
