The refractive index is essentially the speed of light through a vacuum (extremely similar to air) divided by the speed of light through given medium.
I also attached some of my physics notes on refraction and that sort of jazz as they may help :)

Most paper does not reflect light very well because its surface is somewhat rough.<br><br> T or F
Sloan [31]
I think the correct answer is true. Most paper does not reflect light very well because its surface is somewhat rough. Light only reflects to surfaces which has a smooth texture or have a uniform texture on the surface. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

If you have 100 W expended over 20 s how much energy did it take?
netineya [11]

Power = (work or energy) / (time)

100 W  =  (energy) / (20 sec)

Energy = 2,000 watt-sec

<em>Energy = 2,000 J</em>

Although he did not present a mechanism, what were the key points of Alfred Wegener’s proposal for the concept of continental dr
valentinak56 [21]

Answer: Alfred Wegener provided some of the important points that supported the theory of continental drift. They are as follows-

  1. The continents were once all attached together, and this can be proved by studying the coastlines of some of the continents that perfectly matches with one another.
  2. The appearance of similar rock types and similar fossils (including both animals and plants) has also contributed much information that continents were once all together.

What is induced current​
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

A current can be induced in a conducting loop if it is exposed to a changing magnetic field. ... In other words, if the applied magnetic field is increasing, the current in the wire will flow in such a way that the magnetic field that it generates around the wire will decrease the applied magnetic field.
