A ray of light is incident on a medium with angle of incidence I and refracted into a second medium with angle of refraction r. The graph of `sin(i) vs sin(R)` is as shown in figure. Then the velocity of light in the first medium in n times the velocity of light in the second medium. What shoul be th evalue of n?
