The index of refraction (including its dependence on frequency) fully describes the physics, there's nothing else to look up. Group velocity is a derived property taking into account the mathematics of waves, and in the typical textbook example of a very-nearly-monochromatic wave can be computed from the derivative of the index of refraction with respect to frequency. |
