How is the refractive index of a material related to: 
(i) real and apparent depth?
(ii) velocity of light in vacuum or air and the velocity of light in a given medium?


(i) When an object is placed under water (any other medium) than observing it from
outside the water (or medium) it appears to be raised above.
The ratio of real depth and apparent depth is equal to the refractive index of the
medium.
Refractive index, µ =fraction numerator Real space depth over denominator Apparent space depth end fraction

(ii) The relation between Refractive Index and Velocity of Light.
The refractive index of the medium is the ratio of the velocity of light in vacuum (or air) to the velocity of light in that medium.
straight mu space equals space fraction numerator Velocity space of space light space in space vacuum space left parenthesis straight c right parenthesis over denominator Velocity space of space light space in space medium space left parenthesis straight v right parenthesis end fraction
