The refractive index is essentially the speed of light through a vacuum (extremely similar to air) divided by the speed of light through given medium.
I also attached some of my physics notes on refraction and that sort of jazz as they may help :)

omeli [17]

Answer:

12.32 m/s

Explanation:

Using the formula of maximum height of a projectile,

H = u²sin²Ф/2g................... Equation 1

Where H = maximum height, u = initial velocity, Ф = angle of projection, g = acceleration due to gravity

make u the subject of the equation

u = √(2Hg/sin²Ф)............ Equation 2

Given: H = 2.3 m, Ф = 33°, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

u = √[(2×2.3×9.8)/sin²33°]

u =√ [45.08/(0.545)²]

u = 45.08/0.297

u = √(151.785)

u = 12.32 m/s

What is the value of sin r and sin i in physics​
taurus [48]

Answer:

★The second law of refraction

The ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is a constant for a light of given colour and for a given pair of media. This law is also called Snell's law of refraction. If 'i' is the angle of incidence and 'r' is the angle of refraction then, Sin i/Sin r = constant

This constant value is called the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first.
