Because the wave reflecting off the back of the diamond travels through the diamond twice, the term <math> d _2 - d _1 </math> is twice the thickness of the diamond, in seconds. Because this measurement is in unhelpful units, we can multiply it by the speed of light in a diamond and divide by two for the thickness.
<math> ( d _2 - d _1 ) V / 2 = /tau </math>
