Light is refracted through a diamond. If the angle of incidence is 30°, and the angle of
refraction is 12°, what is the index of refraction?

The answer is 2.4 but can someone show me how?

A diamond bends light as it passes through it. The refraction is 2.4 if the incidence angles is 30° and the incident ray is 12°.

How does refraction work?

When light waves cross the border between two materials with different densities, like air and glass, their speed changes. They alter direction as a result, which is referred as as refraction.

What causes light to reflect?

That speed with which light will alter as it passes via one media and then enters another. Refraction results as a result of this. The direction of light passage from air into water is altered as a consequence of the shift in medium.

Briefing:

Snell's law states:

n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂

n₂ = sinθ₁/ sinθ₂

n₂ = sin(30)/sin(12)

n₂ = 2.4
