Hi!
I'm taking a course in Optics, which obviously contains some math. Here, I'm trying to calculate the refractive index of a material (but that's not really important here), which is nB. I'm trying to solve the equation conceptually.
Some comments:
I hope it's a bit clear, thanks in advance! Eq 1 and 2 are part of the steps you go through in the exercise, that's why I included them.

Some comments:
- I have to solve eq (3) for nB
- You can substitute eq (1) in eq (3)
- Eq (2) (follows from 1) is used to substitute s1
I hope it's a bit clear, thanks in advance! Eq 1 and 2 are part of the steps you go through in the exercise, that's why I included them.
