Refractive index is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in given media.
The index of refraction is a unitless ratio. It has no units, it is a pure number.
Because it is the ratio of two speeds (which will have identical units), the units cancel.
Refractive index refers to the velocity of light's ratio in a vacuum to its velocity under a specified medium.
"The refractive index of water is 4 / 3" means the refractive index of water with respect to air. "The refractive index of glass is 3 /2" means the refractive index of glass with respect to air. You change the question as ," what is the refractive index of glass with respect to water? The answer is it is the ratio of refractive index of of glass with respect to air to the refractive index of water with respect to air =( 3/2) divided by( 4/3) = 1.125
It is usually expressed the other way: the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium. In that case, it is called the "index of refraction".
it is the ratio of tensile strength to the flexural strength
The refractive index is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium.
Refractive index of the medium is defined as the ratio of the velocity of light in vacuum to that in the medium. No unit for refractive index.
It is an ordinal since gingival index uses 0-3 scale
The index of refraction.
ordinal
Refractive index is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in given media.
Modulation Index is the ratio of the maximum deviation frequency to the frequency of modulation. In other words it is the ratio of the spread in frequency spectrum to the frequency that was used to modulate the carrier. For FM, modulation index is given by the formula mf= df/f where, mf=modulation index for FM df=difference in carrier frequency f=frequency of the signal
The index of refraction is a unitless ratio. It has no units, it is a pure number.
The Ratio of Earned Value to Planned Value is called the Schedule Performance Index. SPI = EV/PV
holding your middle finger ang your index finger up at the same time means the middle finger in french!!
