Question

The refractive index of a medium with respect to air is always greater than 1 Why?

Answer

Refractive index (μ) = c/v

c = Velocity of light in vacuum

v = Velocity of light in the medium

As the ‘c’ is always greater than ‘v’, therefore the refractive index of light of any material is always greater than 1.
