Answer = Diamond....!!!!
When we say refractive index of diamond is 2.42, it means light is travelling from rarer to a denser medium, and speed of light in the air (vacuum) is 2.42 times the speed of light in a diamond.
Refractive index of glass with respect to water = speed of light in air / speed of light in glass. 1.5 = 3×10^8 / speed of light in glass. speed of light in glass = 3 × 10^8 / 1.5. = 2 x 10^8 m/s.
Glass has a refractive index of 1.5, water 1.3 and diamond 2.42. This means that light will bend more when it hits a diamond than it will when it hits a piece of glass of the same shape.
if we compare both.... then. ....!!!!
Diamond is optically denser than glass.
hope it helps you...☺
