There are multiple ways to derive the index of refraction for a medium. Although most values have already been recorded the most obvious way if studying a new medium is to find a ratio between two mediums as either sound or light passes between the two. For example if you wanted to measure the index of refraction of say, water; and you already know that the index of refraction for air is approximately 1.00 then you might shine a laser from the air into the water and measure how much the light bends toward the normal (a line perpendicular to barrier between the air and water). A ratio of the cosines of the two angles that result will give you the index of refraction for water (approximately 1.33).

What is the refractive index of vacuum?
Refractive index of vacuum is 1.
How do you compute the standard error in refractive index from your graph?
To compute the standard error in refractive index from a graph, calculate the standard deviation of the data points and divide it by the square root of the sample size. This will give you the standard error in your refractive index measurement.

The refractive index of water is 43 and for glass it is 32 with respect to airwhat is the refractive index of glass with respect to air?
"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
Boy's method to find the refractive index of a liquid?
Boy can find the refractive index of a liquid using a refractometer or by measuring the angle of refraction using a laser pointer. By measuring the critical angle of total internal reflection, he can calculate the refractive index of the liquid. Alternatively, he can use Snell's Law in conjunction with the angles of incidence and refraction to determine the refractive index.
