Question

The refractive index of diamond is 2.41. Comment on the statement.

plz answer ASAP​

Answer 1

$\underline {\Huge \mathfrak {Your \:Answer:}}$

We know that,

Refractive index = (Speed of light in vacuum)/(Speed of light in medium)

The given statement means: speed of light in diamond if 1/2.42 times the speed of light in vacuum.

Answer 2

Hello

Here is your answer

When we say refractive index of diamond is 2.42, it means light is travelling from rarer to denser medium, and speed of light in air (vacuum) is 2.42 times the speed of light in diamond.

THANK YOU so much
