Answer: 1.333

Explanation:

Index of refraction= n=c/v

Where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the speed of light in material ( water) in this case.

n = 3.00.108/2.25.108

n =3.00/2.25

n = 1.333

Approximately 1.33

There is no unit because m/s cancels out m/s

N= velocity in vacuum/velocity in water 
n=3.00*10⁸m/s/2.25 *10⁸m/s= 3.00/2.25 ≈ 1.33

n ≈ 1.33

What happens to the frequency of a wave If the wavelength is decreased by half
podryga [215]

Answer:

Frequency  doubles.

Explanation:

Frequency doubles because Wavelength and Frequency are inversely proportional. That means if one decreases the other one increases. So, if wavelength is half, frequency is the opposite, doubles.

What kind of thermal transfer 1.conduction 2.convective 3.radiation from the sun?
Lana71 [14]
Answer:
Radiation

Explanation:
Radiation is the type of heat transfer through the electromagnetic waves. Transfer of heat by radiation can occur in space/vacuum as in between the sun and the earth

On the other hand:
Conduction is the transfer of heat through touching on objects while convection is the transfer of heat as a result of moving currents in liquids or gases.
