Revered Members,
I know the definition of refractive index is ratio of velocity of light in vacuum to the velocity of light in medium.
Also, the definition for figure of merit is deflection produced per unit current.
Is there any relation between figure of merit and refractive index?
My teacher told that refractive index is nothing but figure of merit of light. I can't understand his statement. I need some inputs from the learned members of this forum in this regard. Thanks in advance
