Heya !
We know,
Refractive index is the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum with respect to the speed of light in another medium.
Here,
The line, 'the refractive index of diamond is 2.42' means that the speed of light in the particular medium diamond will reduce by a factor of 2.42 .
Thanks,
Manav
