Refractive index measurement is actually a measurement of the speed of light in a medium. The speed of light (usually denoted by c) is 299 792 458 m/s in vacuum. In other media the speed of light is lower than this value‚ and the refractive index‚ R.I.‚ of a medium is a measure of how much the speed of light is reduced in the medium. The refractive index (n) of a medium is defined as the ratio of speed of light in vacuum (c) in to that in the medium (v) The speed of light in a medium depends on

Introduction 2 If a physical phenomenon of interest is random‚ then each time history measurement x(t) of that phenomenon represents a unique set of circumstances which is not Iikely to be repeated in other independent measurements of that same phenomenon. Hence‚ to completely define all properties of the phenomenon‚ it is necessary to conceptually think in terms of all the time history measurements {x(t)} that might have been made. For the usual case of engineering interest where the phenomenon

then computing with them. This type of data is either nominal or ordinal. Nominal The number we assign to some object‚ idea‚ or behavior is entirely arbitrary‚ although in some cases a tradition may establish the rules of assignment. If measurements are assigned arbitrary numbers‚ they are called nominal numbers‚ and their sole purpose in the analysis is to differentiate an item possessing one characteristic from an item possessing a different characteristic. Nominal data is a type of categorical
