    As refractive index `= (“speed of light in vacuum”)/(“speed of light in diamond”)`,
    `2.42 = (3 xx 10^(8) m//s)/v ” ” v = (3 xx 10^(8))/(2.42) m//s = 1.24 xx 10^(8) m//s`.
    This is the speed of light in diamond.

    When we say refractive index of diamond is 2.42, it means light is travelling from rarer to denser medium, and speed of light in air (vacuum) is 2.42 times the speed of light in diamond.

    It means that the light is becoming slower at the rate of 2.42 at passing through the diamond
    It means,Speed of light in air =speed of light in diamond ×2.42i.e. something is multiplied to the speed of light in diamond to become equal to the speed of light in air.Therefore speed of light in diamond is lesser than speed of light in air. Hence the diamond is denser than air. If we incidents a ray from air to diamond the refractive ray will bend towards the normal of that point.
    Yaa
    Means speed of light in diamond is lower by a factor 2.42 relative to that in vacuum…….hope this helps uhh ?

    Thanks for your answer? ✌
    The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. This means that the speed of light in diamond will reduce by a factor of 2.42 as compared to its speed in air.In other words, the speed of light in diamond is 1/2.42 times the speed of light in vacuum.
