Question

Which one of the following has maximum refractive index (a) glass (b) water (c) iron (d) diamond

Answer 1

Diamond has a very high refractive index (about 2.42 compared to about 1.5 for glass). ... The sparkling isn't just the high refractive index - the shape matters too. Diamonds are cut so that a light ray falling on the diamond is reflected multiple times inside the diamond and therefore sends light out in all directions.

Answer 2

(d) Diamond

Explanation:

• The ratio between the velocity of light in a vacuum and its velocity in a particular medium is defined as the Refractive index.
• Also the measure of bending light ray from one to another is termed as Refractive Index.
• The formula to find the refractive of an object is, $n = \frac{c}{v}$ where c is the velocity of the light in vacuum and 'v' is the velocity of particular medium
• The refractive index of diamond is 2.417 to 2.419
• The refractive index of Glass is 1.45 to 2.00
• The refractive index of Water is 1.33
• The refractive index of Iron is 1.09

Therefore the maximum refractive index among glass, water, iron and diamond is Diamond, whose refractive index is from 2.417 to 2.419
