Question

if the refractive index of the Diamond for light going from air to diamond is 2.42 what will be the refractive index of light going from Diamond to air please answer this question immediately

Answer 1

[Your Answer :- 1 / 2.42 ]

A easy question indeed , According to your question,

Refractive index of diamond for light going from air to diamond is 2.42

So now we have to find out the refractive index of light going from air to diamond ?

Reason / Explanation :-

D - Diamond

a - Air

$a\mu_d$ = $\mu_d / \mu_a$

Now ,

$d\mu_a$ = $\mu_a / \mu_d$

= $\frac{1}{2.42}$

Hence refractive index of light going from diamond to air is 1/2.42

Hope it Helps :-)
