The refractive index of water is 1.333. Refractive index n = c/v where c is phase velocity of a wave in a vacuum and v is the phase velocity of the wave in the medium. If precision is needed, then more variables come into play and n will change slightly. The temperature of the medium, the frequency of the light, etc... all can come into play.

When convexity of the lens is increased and light refraction does what?
The light refraction is decreased.
Is a light bulb an example of reflection or refraction?
It is refraction
When there is no refraction of light and why does it happen?
There will be refraction when light passes from one substance to the other (for example, from air to water), when the two substances have different indices of refraction, and when light passes the surface at an angle. In other cases, there is no refraction.
Refraction can separate white light into?
Refraction can separate white light into the spectrum of visible light from red to violet.
What is the refraction of light in different medium?
the refraction of light in water medium is 1.0003,glass 1.5,etc.
How does refraction change light?
What is Refraction?? What is Refraction??
What is the bending of light from one medium to another?
It is called refraction, but some material bounces off the light and it is called reflection.
When does light undergo refraction?
light undergoes refraction when the matter changes the speed of light
When convexity of the lens is increased and light refraction does what?
The light refraction is decreased.
What is light refraction used for?
Refraction of light allows for the change of appearance of an object
What does light bend when it passes from air into glass?
refraction
What is reflection and refraction light?
Reflection of light is the bending of light from its point. while refraction is the diverging of light from its bearing.
Does a rainbow go through the earth?
No a rainbow is the refraction of light through rain and is only an optical illusion
What is the name for bending light?
Refraction or Refraction of light is the scientific name for the bending of light. Same Thing.
