To update the calculator change the values in the colored boxes. The speed of light in a given material is related to a quantity called the index of refraction n which is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in the medium. We know that light experiences the refraction or bending when it travels from one medium to another medium.
