Detailed Solution

Glass's absolute refractive index may be readily determined by applying the formula, μdg=μdμg, here μdg is the difference between the refractive indices of glass and diamond, μd,μg are the glass and diamonds' respective absolute refractive indices.
Formula used -μdg=μdμg.

Diamond's refractive index in relation to glass ndg=1.6
Glass's index of refraction ng=1.5
the diamond's refractive index nd= ?
Diamond's refractive indices with respect to glass ndg=ndng
hence, the diamond's refractive index nd=ndg×ng or, nd=1.6×1.5=2.4
as a result, diamond's refractive index is 2.4

Hence, the correct answer is option C.
