The refractive indices of medium $(1)$ and medium $(2)$ are $\eta_{1}$ and $\eta_{2}$ respectively,and the velocities of light in these media are $v_{1}$ and $v_{2}$ respectively. What is the formula to find the refractive index of medium $(2)$ with respect to medium $(1)$,denoted as $\eta_{21}$?

  • A
    $\frac{v_{1}}{v_{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{\eta_{1}}{\eta_{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}$
  • D
    $\eta_{1} \eta_{2}$
