What is the significance of Refractive Index?

The refractive index determines how much the path of light is bent, or refracted when entering a material. This is described by Snell’s law of refraction. The refractive index can be seen as the factor by which the speed and the wavelength of the radiation are reduced concerning their vacuum values. It tells how fast the light is moving in that medium. The refractive index may vary with wavelength. This causes white light to split into constituent colors when refracted. This is called dispersion and can be observed in prisms and rainbows and as chromatic aberration in lenses.
