  1. optical density

    Optical density, also known as the index of refraction, is a property of a material that defines the extent to which light is slowed down or bent when it passes through the material. It is typically designated by the Greek letter n. This property also defines how much the path of light is bent, or refracted, when entering a material. Materials with a higher optical density will slow down light more and bend its path more sharply.
