materials with a slower index of refraction will be _____ optically dense; light will move ____ through these materials

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lower index=more optically dense. Note that: \(n=\frac{c}{v}\) where c is the speed of light in a vacuum(a constant) and v is the speed of light in the medium. Rearranging, \(nv=c\) So they are inversely proportional. Do you need further help?
