Refractive Index: the ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to that in the given medium
the medium which have the same refractive index as glass.
Optical dense refers to the index of refraction. If one medium is optically denser than another, then its index of refraction is larger, meaning the speed of light in the optically denser medium is smaller.
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".
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.

c divided by the index of refraction of the medium = the speed of light in the medium.
The ratio of speed of light in a given pair of media , gives us a measure of the extent of refraction of a ray of light as it goes from one medium to another. We use this ratio to define a term called the relative refractive index for a given pair of media . A relative refractive index is light that passes from one transparent medium to another.

A medium with a higher index of refraction, like diamond, is more dense than the medium with a lower index of refraction, like air. If the ray of light is moving from the less dense medium (lower index of refraction), to a more dense (higher index of refraction) the ray of light bends TOWARDS the normal.

The speed of light in any medium isspeed of light in vacuum/refractive index of that medium.
Speed of light in air (which has an index of refraction of 1) is 3 * 10^8 m/s. So divide the speed of light by the index of refraction of the new medium to obtain the speed of light in that medium. Hope I helped!!
Refractive index value of a medium - when it is higher then the speed of light in that medium would become lower. In case of water it travels faster compared to that in glass. In case of diamond the speed is further reduced. Since the refractive index is inversely related to the speed of light in the medium.
