    C) Index of refraction

    Explanation:

    Index of refraction also known as refractive index is defined as speed of light in a vacuum divided by the speed of light in a given material.

    The formula for Index of refraction is:

    n = c : v

    where n represents Index of refraction,

    c represents speed of light in a vacuum,

    v represents speed of light in a given material.

    The speed and direction of light changes when it moves from one medium to another. The change in direction is basically called refraction.
