Refractive index is the ratio of speed of in corresponding medium to the speed of light in vacuum.It has no units.
Wavelength is the the distance between two successive wave crests or troughs.It is also the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the frequency of light.
Deviation  is the the bending of rays of light away from a straight line.
