Refraction Basics When scientists talk about refraction they use a formula. Strategy The speed of light in a material v can be calculated from the index of refraction n of the material using the equation ncv. N c v c is the speed of light in a vacuum v is the speed of light in that substance and n is the index of refraction. Im not sure however how one would calculate the time of flight for a light signal in a medium where the index of refraction is more complex.
