When light passes from a medium with a high index of refraction into a medium with a lower index of refraction which direction does the light bend?
A medium with a higher index of refraction, like diamond, is more dense than the medium with a lower index of refraction, like air. If the ray of light is moving from the less dense medium (lower index of refraction), to a more dense (higher index of refraction) the ray of light bends TOWARDS the normal.
What is the bending of light rays as it passes from one material into another?
Index Of Refraction
What is the speed of light in a material with an index of refraction of 3?
It would be 100,000,000 metres per second.
Do high refractive neccessarily mean high molecular mass?
Not necessarily. Diamond molecules are comparable in mass to those of water, yet diamond has a far higher index of refraction over water.
If the speed of light in a vacuum is 1.2 times that of the speed of light in a given material what is the index of refraction for that material?
2 (no units)
What has the highest index of refraction a vacuum a diamond air or crown glass?
A diamond has the highest index of refraction, about 2.4 Crown glass is about 1.5 and a vacuum is 1

When the mineral uvarovite has an index of refraction of 1.86. calculate the speed of light in this sample of uvarovite.?
Use the definition of "index of refraction". In this case, you simply need to divide the speed of light in a vacuum by the index of refraction.
What is the bending of light rays as it passes from one material into another?
Index Of Refraction
What has the highest index of refraction?
Diamond (2.33)is far from the highest. The highest are silicon and germanium. Silicon has a refractive index of 3.96 and germanium has the highest with 4.01.
What is the speed of light in a material with an index of refraction of 3?
It would be 100,000,000 metres per second.
How fast does light travel through diamond?
The refractive index of diamond is about 2.42 . So the speed of light in it is (speed of light in vacuum) divided by (2.42) That's 123.9 thousand kilometers per second (about 77,000 miles per second).
How do you think increasing a medium's index of refraction might affect the angle of refraction?
Q: How do you think increasing a medium's index of refraction might affect the angle of refraction?
What is the relevance of the large value of refractive index of diamond in costume jewelry?
The high index of refraction of diamond produces a rainbow effect of multi-colored glitter. This is difficult to reproduce in the less expensive materials used for costume jewelry.
How is the refractive index of glass is to water is related with that of air is to water?
Each substance has an index of refraction. The index of refraction of water is about 1.3330 . The index of refraction of air at standard conditions is about 1.0003 . There is no such thing as the index of refraction of "water to air".
