Light travels through a vacuum at a speed c = 3 × 10^8 m/s. It can also travel through many materials, such as air, water and glass. Atoms in the material absorb, reemit and scatter the light, however. Therefore, light travels through the material at a speed that is less than c, the actual speed depending on the nature of the material. To describe the extent to which the speed of light in a material medium differs from that in a vacuum, we use a parameter called the index of refraction. Figure shows a ray of light as it travels from medium A to medium B. Retractive index of the medium B relative to medium A is

A ray of light is incident in medium 1 on a surface that separates medium 1 from medium 2. Let v1 and v2 represent the velocity of light in medium 1 and medium 2 respectively. Also let n12 and n21 represent the refractive index of medium 1 with respect to medium 2 and refractive index of medium 2 with respect to medium 1, respectively. If i and r denote the angle of incidence and angle of refraction, then-
sin i / sin r = n21 * v1 / v2
sin i / sin r = n21 * v2 / v1
sin i / sin r = n12 * v1 / v2
sin i / sin r = n12 * v2 / v1
