Chapter 6, Problem 6.6QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The refractive index of diamond ( $n_D$ ) should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Snell’s law states the relationship between the refractive indexes of the two medias and the incidence and refraction angles for a refraction.

$\begin{array}{l}\frac{\mathrm{Sin}{\theta }_1}{\mathrm{Sin}{\theta }_2}=\frac{n_2}{n_1}\\ \text{Where,}\\ {\theta }_1=\text{angle of incidence beam}\\ {\theta }_2=\text{angle of refraction}\\ n_2,n_1=\text{refractive indexes of the two media}\end{array}$
