State the laws of refraction. why do different media have different refractive index? Diamond Refraction Index is 2.42 what it means. (please write in Book and send pic kind request) 4 marks questions
1. The incident ray , refracted ray and the normal all lie in same plane.
2. The ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is constant (Snell’s Law).

Optical density is a measure of the refracting power of a medium. In other words, the higher the optical density, the more the light will be refracted or slowed down as it moves through the medium. Optical density is related to refractive index in that materials with a high refractive index will also have a high optical density. Light will travel slower through a medium with a high refractive index and high optical density and faster through a medium which has a low refractive index and a low optical density.
The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. This means that the speed of light in a diamond will reduce by a factor of 2.42 compared to its speed in air.
