wavelength in vacuum/ wavelength in material = n
650nm/450nm= 1.44=n

n = c / v,
approximately n = (3 * 108) / (1.24 * 108) = 2.42.

If the speed of light in a vacuum is 1.2 times that of the speed of light in a given material what is the index of refraction for that material?
2 (no units)
How is the index of refraction of a substance related to the speed of light in the substance?
The substance's index of refraction isSpeed of light in vacuum / Speed of light in the substance
How can the index of refraction for different substances be determined mathematically?
n(index of refraction) = c(speed of light in a vacuum)/v(speed of material in the sebstance)
If the speed of a light in a vacuum is 1.5 times that of the speed of light in a given material what is the index of refraction for that material?
1.5 no units (APEX)
How does light travle in a material with a higher index of refraction?
It will usually change. Usually you would expect the speed to decrease, but note that the "optical density", i.e. the index of refraction, is not entirely related to the density (as defined by mass/volume).
Ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a material?
The index of refraction.
The speed of light in a vacuum is 1.5 times that of the speed of light in a given material what is the index of refraction for that material?
Also 1.5. That's how the index of refraction is defined.

What is materials index of refraction?
It's (the speed of light in vacuum)/(the speed of light in the material) .
What is the materials index of refraction?
It's (the speed of light in vacuum)/(the speed of light in the material) .

What is a material's index of refraction?
It is the ratio between the speed of light in a vacuum, and the speed of light in the material. The angle at which light is refracted is related to the index of refraction, and can be calculated using Snell's Law.
Is a property of a material that indicates how much it reduces the speed of light.?
That is called the index of refraction.
