To find the speed of light in diamond given the speed of light in air and the refractive index of diamond, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the relationship between speed of light, refractive index, and medium**: The refractive index (n) of a medium is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum (or air) to the speed of light in that medium. The formula is: \[ n = \frac{c}{v} ...
