The wavelength is a characteristic of waves that determines the separation between similar places between two subsequent waves.
The symbol for wavelength is λ . And the formula ν=λf...(equation1)
Refractive index is the measure of how much a light beam bends after passing through one medium and then another. The symbol n stands for the refractive index. It has formula n=cv...(equation2)
