उत्तर

Highest Optical Density: Diamond

Least Optical Density: Air

Explanation:

Optical density is directly related to the refractive index of a medium. A higher refractive index means higher optical density, causing light to travel slower through it.

  • Diamond has the highest refractive index (2.42) among all given choices, making it the most optically dense medium.
  • Air has the lowest refractive index (1.00), making it the least optically dense medium.
