Explanation:
The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. This means that the speed of light in diamond will reduce by a factor of 2.42 as compared to its speed in air. In other words, the speed of light in diamond is 1/2.42 times the speed of light in vacuum.

Answer:
v=1.24x108 m/sec
Explanation:
The index of refraction is defined as the ratio of the sped of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in the meduiu of interest, in the is case diamond. So n=c/v, n= index, c=speed of light and v= speed of light in diamond. 2.42=c/v so v=c/2.42, c≈3x108 m/sec so v=1.24x108 m/sec.
