Question
What do you mean by refractive index of a medium?

Answer

A ray of light that travels obliquely from one transparent medium into another will change its direction in the second medium.
→The extent of the change in direction that takes place in a given pair of media is expressed in term of the refractive index, the constant
appearing in the equation $\frac{\sin t}{\sin r}$= constant.
