The Attempt at a Solution
For example, the refractive index of a medium is a number without unit of measure. If it were to risk between climbing or vector, I'd say climb. However, anywhere scale is defined by a number accompanied by its unit. Therefore, the index of refraction would not be scalar and since it has no orientation, it is also not a vector, so what would it be?
