To find the refractive index of diamond with respect to glass, we can use the formula for refractive index, which is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in one medium to the speed of light in another medium. The formula is: \[ n = \frac{v_{\text{medium 1}}}{v_{\text{medium 2}}} \] In this case, we want to find the refractive index of diamond with respect to glass. Therefore, we can set: ...
