Question

Light travels from glass to diamond whose refractive index is 2.42. The refractive index of glass is 1.5. Calculate the speed of light in diamond.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Light doesn't just travel in a straight line. If it comes in contact with a new medium, it bends, called refraction. Light bends different amounts in different mediums, which can be measured by the refractive index.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$\bold{reflective \: index = \frac{speed \: in \: glass}{speed \: in \: diamond} } \\ 2.42 = \frac{1.5}{speed \: in \: diamond} \\ speed \: in \: diamond = \frac{1.5}{2.42} = 0.61 \\hope \: it \: helps \:u..... \:$
