The velocity of light in diamond, glass and water decreases in the following order :

  1. A Water > glass > diamond
  2. B diamond > glass > water
  3. C diamond > water > glass
  4. D Water > diamond > glass
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Water > glass > diamond

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Velocity is inversely proportional to the refractive index ( \(v=c / n\) ). Since diamond has the highest refractive index and water the lowest, light travels fastest in water and slowest in diamond.Water > glass > diamond
