The refractive index of transparent medium is greater than one because

(a) Speed of light in vacuum < speed of light in transparent medium

(b) Speed of light in vacuum > speed of light in transparent medium

(c) Speed flight in vacuum = speed of light in transparent medium

(d) Frequency of light wave changes when it moves from rarer to denser medium

(b) Speed of light in vacuum > speed of light in transparent medium

Explanation:

μ = Speed of light in vacuum/Speed of light in medium

As c > v

So, μ > 1
