How does the refractive index of a transparent medium effect the speed of light passing through?

Dear Student
Kindly find the answer of your asked query

speed of ligh in a medium is given by:v=cμwhere c is the speed of light in the airμ is the refractive index of the medium.Therefore speed of light in the medium decreases when light passes through the medium
Hope this information will clear your doubt about light.
