The refractive index of quartz varies depending on the wavelength of light and the specific type of quartz (such as clear quartz, smoky quartz, etc.). Generally, for clear quartz, the refractive index is approximately 1.54 to 1.55 for visible light. Specifically, the refractive indices can range from about 1.544 to 1.553 for the ordinary ray (n₀) and the extraordinary ray (nₑ) can range from about 1.553 to 1.558. If you need more specific data for a particular wavelength or type of quartz, please let me know!
