AI Generated Solution

To find the refractive index for light going from diamond to air, we can use the relationship between the refractive indices of two media. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the given information We know that the refractive index of diamond with respect to air (n_diamond/air) is given as 2.42. This means that light travels slower in diamond than in air. ### Step 2: Use the formula for refractive indices The refractive index of a medium A with respect to medium B can be expressed as: \[ n_{A/B} = \frac{c}{v} \] ...
