If a material has a high index of refraction, it has a 1 low optical density, and light travels more slowly through it. . high o
ptical density, and light travels more slowly through it. Olow optical density, and light travels more quickly through it. high optical density, and light travels more quickly through it.
B. High optical density, and light travels more slowly through it.
Step-by-step explanation:
Refractive index is the property of a material that describes the change in the initial path of light and the rate at which light travels through it. And optical density of a material describes its absorption ability to rays or beam of light passing through it.
As the index of refraction of a material increases, therefore its optical density would increase. This would cause light to travel through it slowly. Unless the light has a high frequency.
A material with a high index of refraction has a high optical density, and light travels more slowly through it.
