The refractive index of diamond is 2.47 ...

The refractive index of diamond is `2.47` and that of window glass is `1.51`. Find the ratio of speed of light in glass and diamond.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, `mu_(d) = 2.47 and mu_(g) = 1.51`
As `mu = c//v :. (v_(g))/(v_(d)) = (mu_(d))/(mu_(g)) = (2.47)/(1.51) = 1.63`
