To find the refractive index of medium 2 with respect to medium 1, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the formula for refractive index**: The refractive index (μ) is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum (or air) to the speed of light in the medium. The relationship between the refractive indices and the velocities of light in two different media can be expressed as: \[ \frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1} = \frac{V_1}{V_2} ...
