Please answer question number 23.
Q.23. What is meant by refractive index? If the speed of light in a medium is 2/3 rd of the speed of light in vacuum, find the refractive index of that medium.

Dear student,

Refraction of light occurs when a  ray of light travels from one medium to another.When it enters into a different medium the light bends towards the normal.
 
This extent of bending of light depends upon the refractive index of the medium.
Refractive index of a substance is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in the given substance.

21. refrative index of atmosphere is different at different levels bec as we come closer to the surface of earty the air becomes denser n denser as a result more bending occurs
