The refractive index is essentially the speed of light through a vacuum (extremely similar to air) divided by the speed of light through given medium.
I also attached some of my physics notes on refraction and that sort of jazz as they may help :)

If the speed of light in air is 3.00 times 10 to the 8 m/s power and the speed of-example-1

If the speed of light in air is 3.00 times 10 to the 8 m/s power and the speed of-example-2
