The refractive index (or index of refraction) is a dimensionless number that describes how light propagates through a medium.
Definition for refractive index.
The refractive index, denoted as (n), is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum ((c)) to the speed of light in the medium ((v)):
So, n = C/V.
