A light ray is traveling through water (n=1.33) angle= 15 degrees until hits a diamond (n=2.42) contained within and engagement ring.  1. What is the angle of any light reflected off the diamond? 2. What is the angle of the refracted light? 3. Given the index of the refraction and the speed of light constant, what is the velocity of the light in the diamond?
