The refractive index is a unitless number, between 1.3000 and 1.7000 for most compounds, and is normally determined to five digit precision. Since the index of refraction depends on both the temperature of the sample and the wavelength of light used these are both indicated when reporting the refractive index:

This page offers a model which uses the Lorentz-Lorenz relation to estimate the refractive index of aqueous H2SO4 and HNO3 solutions (5-70 wt%) for wavelengths from the near ultraviolet to the near-infrared (250-2000 nm) and for the temperatures from 370 K to stratospheric temperatures (185 K).

The two drive frequencies also led to differences in hydrogen concentration that were found to be correlated with refractive index. Hydrogen concentration has been linked to significant optical absorption losses above index values of ~1.6, which we identified as a saturation level in our films.
