Rarefaction is the reduction of an item's density, the opposite of compression.

Answer:

The Refractive Index (RI) is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to its speed in the sample medium.

Formula:-


n = \displaystyle{ (c)/(v) }

Where,

c is the speed of light and v is the phase velocity of light.
