What is the significance of the index of refraction? Answer concisely in 2-3 sentences.
87 chars

Generation

The index of refraction determines how much light slows down and bends when entering a material from another medium. It governs critical optical phenomena like refraction at interfaces, total internal reflection, and the focusing power of lenses. A higher index means light travels more slowly through the material and bends more sharply at boundaries.
