How is the refractive index of a medium related to the speed of light in it and in vacuum or air?

A light ray in passing from water to a medium (a) speeds up (b) slows down. In each case, (i) give one example of the medium, (ii) state whether the refractive index of medium is equal to, less than or greater than the refractive index of water.

A monochromatic ray of light passes from air to glass. The wavelength of light in air is λ, the speed of light in air is c and in glass is V. If the refractive index of glass is 1.5, write down,

(a) the relationship between c and V,

(b) the wavelength of light in the glass.

A boy uses blue colour of light to find the refractive index of glass. He then repeats the experiment using red colour of light. Will the refractive index be the same or different in the two cases? Give a reason to support your answer.
