What is absolute refractive index? On what factors does it depend?

Electromagnetic radiation of frequency $n$,wavelength $\lambda$,travelling with velocity $v$ in air,enters a glass slab of refractive index $\mu$. The frequency,wavelength,and velocity of light in the glass slab will be respectively:

The difference of speed of light in the two media $A$ and $B$ $(v_{A}-v_{B})$ is $2.6 \times 10^{7} \, m/s$. If the refractive index of medium $B$ is $1.47$,then the ratio of refractive index of medium $B$ to medium $A$ is: (Given: speed of light in vacuum $c = 3 \times 10^{8} \, m/s$)

$A$ light of wavelength $\lambda_{1}$ and velocity $C_{1}$ travels from the first medium of refractive index $\mu_{1}$ into the second medium of refractive index $\mu_{2}$. The wavelength and velocity of light in the second medium are $\lambda_{2}$ and $C_{2}$ respectively. The refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first medium is given by:

There are certain materials developed in laboratories which have a negative refractive index. $A$ ray incident from air (medium $1$) into such a medium (medium $2$) shall follow a path given by
