i. The refractive index of a medium with respect to air is given by speed of light in air . Since speed of light in the medium is always less than the speed of light in the medium speed of light in air, hence the above ratio is always greater than 1.
ii. The ray of light is undergoing normalincidence at the air-plastic block interface. And for normal incidence there is no deviation.
