✨___Q.___"The refractive index of diamond is 2.42". What is the meaning of this statement in relation to speed of light?

Answer 1

Answer:

solved

Explanation:

one of the most important meanings is that ,

the speed of light in diamond media = the speed of light in vacuum/2.42

Answer 2

Statement:

" The refractive index of diamond is 2.42"

Explanation:

We know that refractive index determines the ratio of speed of light in air or vaccum and speed of light in any medium.

Now, according to given statement,

" The refractive index of diamond is 2.42"

It means that,

the speed of light in air or vaccum is 2.42 times greater than the speed of light in diamond.

Refractive index is denoted by the symbol μ .

If the refractive index of any medium is greater than 1 , then it means it is denser medium compared to air or vaccum.

If the refractive index of any medium is less than 1, then it means it is rarer medium compared to air or vaccum.
