When a light beam enters a transparent material at an angle of incidence, the refraction takes place. This transparent material is diamond.

<h3>What is transparent material?</h3>

The material through which a person can be able to see clearly, when light falls on it.

The Snell's law is the ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is equal to the ratio of refractive index of the two mediums.

sin i /sin r = n₂ / n₁

The angle of incidence of light is 38⁰ and angle of refraction is 14.76⁰. The air has refractive index is 1, then the refractive index of the transparent material is

n₂ = sin 38 x 1 /sin 14.76

n₂ = 2.4165

The refractive index of the transparent material is approximately 2.417.

Thus, the transparent material is diamond.
