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> \tau </math>.

Therefore, we can rewrite the earlier equation in terms of <math> \tau </math>:

<math>A^2 _{total} / A^2 = C _1 + C _2 + 2 C _1 C _2 \cos ( 2 \tau / V _d ) </math>
