Absolute refractive index of glass begin mathsize 12px style equals space fraction numerator r e f r a c t i v e space i n d e x space o f space g l a s s over denominator r e f r a c t i v e space i n d e x space o f space a i r end fraction equals space mu subscript g l a s s end subscript over mu subscript a i r end subscript equals 1.5 end style
since μair = 1, μglass = 1.5
 
refractive index of diamond with respect to glass begin mathsize 12px style equals mu subscript d i a m o n d end subscript over mu subscript g l a s s end subscript equals space 1.6 end style
μdiamond = 1.6×μglass = 1.6 × 1.5 = 2.4
 
absolute refractive index of diamond begin mathsize 12px style equals mu subscript d i a m o n d end subscript over mu subscript a i r end subscript space equals space fraction numerator 2.4 over denominator 1 end fraction equals 2.4 end style
