contents In this paper, we consider the inverse spectral problem of determining the spherically symmetric refractive index in a bounded spherical region of radius $b$. Instead of the usual case of the refractive index $ρ\in W^2_2$, by using singular Sturm-Liouville theory, we {first} discuss the case when the refractive index $ρ$ is a piecewise $ W^1_2$ function. We prove that if $\int_0^b \sqrt{ρ(r)} dr<b$, then $ρ$ is uniquely determined by all special transmission eigenvalues; if $\int_0^b \sqrt{ρ(r)} dr=b$, then all special transmission eigenvalues with some additional information can uniquely determine $ρ$. We also consider the mixed spectral problem and obtain that $ρ$ is uniquely determined from partial information of $ρ$ and the ``almost real subspectrum".
