The speed of light in diamond is 1.24\cdot 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

The index of refraction of a material is equal to the ratio between the speed of light in vacuum and the speed of light in the material:

n=\frac{c}{v}

where

n is the index of refraction

c is the speed of light in vacuum

v is the speed of light in the material

In this problem, we have:

n = 2.42 is the refractive index of diamond

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light in vacuum

Solving for v, we find the speed of light in diamond:

v=\frac{c}{n}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8}{2.42}=1.24\cdot 10^8 m/s

If the mass of a material is 43 grams and the volume of the material is 14 cm^3, what would the density of the material be
melomori [17]
Density is the mass of a substance every a unit of volume. Therefore, the formula to count density would be mass/volume. The calculation for this problem should be:

density= mass/volume
density= 43 grams / 14 cm^3= 3.07gram/cm^3 or 3.07 gram/ml
