उत्तर
Speed of light in diamond = 121,000 km/s
= 121 × 106 m/s
Refractive index of diamond = `"Speed of light in air"/"speed of light in diamond"`
= `(3xx10^8)/(121xx10^6"m/s")`
= 2.48

What do you understand by the deviation produced by a prism?
A ray of light moves from a rare medium to a dense medium as shown in the diagram below. Write down the number of the ray which represents the partially reflected ray.

The speed of light in air is 3 × 108 ms-1. Calculate the speed of light in water. The refractive index of water is 4/3.
