The "normal" to a surface or a boundary is the direction perpendicular to it.

Within the scope of this discussion, it has nothing to do with refractive index.

The angular value of the normal in relation to refractive index is the angle of incidence when a light ray enters a medium from a vacuum. The angle of incidence is measured with respect to the perpendicular to the surface, known as the normal. This angle determines how much the light ray will bend or refract as it enters the medium, with the refractive index quantifying this bending.
