Answer

The refractive index of diam

The refractive index of diamond is 2.24 means that the ratio of the speed of light in air to the speed of the light in diamond is equal to 2.24.

The refractive index from air to diamond is 2.24

ond is 2.24 means that the ratio of the speed of light in air to the speed of the light in diamond is equal to 2.24.
