प्रश्न
How does the refractive index of a medium depend on its temperature?
उत्तर
Refractive index of a medium decreases with the increase in temperature.
With increase in temperature, the speed of light in that medium increases; thus, the refractive index (= velocity of light in vacuum/velocity of light in medium) decreases.
