The refractive index is a constant for a given pair of materials. It can be defined as By definition the refractive index of a vacuum is 1. In practice, air makes little difference to the refraction of light with an absolute refractive index of 1.0008, so the value of the absolute refractive index can be used assuming...

30/Nov ADDED by request: code for index of refraction calculations of most materials on site. Luxpop generates index of refraction values using two basic methods, depending on the reference: table lookup or calculations such as Sellmeier equations, 3 point Cauchy interpolations, and so on.

Crystalline materials may have different indices of refraction associated with different crystallographic directions. A common situation with mineral crystals is that there are two distinct indices of refraction, and they are called birefringent materials.

It gives the amount of refraction which takes place for light passing from one medium to another. A complex index of refraction can be defined for substances which absorb as well as refract as Smith, D. R. and Kroll, N. "Negative Refractive Index in Left-Handed Materials." Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 2933-2936, 2000.
