diamond got brilliance due to following reason?
Correct answer: D. all of the above
- A. reflection
- B. refraction
- C. dispersion
- D. all of the above
Explanation
Diamond appears brilliant because its high refractive index causes strong refraction and internal reflection, while dispersion separates white light into colours; together these effects produce brilliance. The likely wrong choice is only dispersion, because colour separation alone does not account for the intense reflected light from diamond.

About Crystalline Solids
Crystalline solids contain particles arranged in a regular repeating lattice described by a unit cell. Their study includes coordination number, packing efficiency, density, anisotropy, cleavage, polymorphism and common crystal systems, along with ionic, molecular, covalent network and metallic crystals. Crystalline order differs from the random arrangement of amorphous solids.
