Q7 of 284 Page 227

If the refractive index for light going from air to diamond be 2.42, what will be the refractive index for light going from diamond to air?

the relation between the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction for a medium is


Thus, refractive index for light going from diamond to air = 0.41

State whether it is true or not:

When a ray of light goes from air into a clear material, you see the ray bend. How much the ray bends is determined by the Refractive index of the material.
