    We are given with

    distance traveled through vacuum = 1.0 m

    refractive index of water = 1.33

    refractive index of glass = 1.50

    refractive index of diamond = 2.42

    distance traveled through water is = 1.0/1.33 = 0.75 m

    distance traveled through water is = 1.0/1.50 = 0.67 m

    distance traveled through water is = 1.0/2.42 = 0.41 m
