Find the speed of light in diamond whose absolute refractive index is 2.4.

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:

We know that:
refractive index = speed of light in air / speed of light in the medium
speed of light in air = 3×108 m/s
thus,

speed in diamond = speed in air / refractive index =  3×108 / 2.4
speed in diamond =  1.25×108  m/s

Hope this information will clear your doubts about (Light).
