Answer:

a). Vacuum

Explanation:

As we know that the refractive index of the medium is defined as

Refractive \: index = \frac{c}{v}

here we know that

c = speed of light in vacuum

v = speed of light in medium

so here we know that

v = \frac{c}{\mu}

so speed will be maximum for that medium for which value of refractive index is minimum

So here from all given options minimum refractive index is for vacuum

so correct answer will be

a). Vacuum

Which of the following describe advantages of using radio waves over other electromagnetic waves to transmit information to Eart
Whitepunk [10]

The correct options are:

D

"Radio waves have a lower frequency, which makes them safer for humans."

B

"Radio waves take less energy to produce."

<h3>Why do we radio waves over other electromagnetic waves to transmit information to Earth? </h3>

Radio waves are electromagnetic waves with frequencies on the range from 10 KHz to 10 THz.

Now, remember that all electromagnetic waves have the same speed, which is the speed of light, and the energy of a wave is proportional to its frequency.

Particularly, we can see that radio waves have small frequencies (smaller than infrared light) so these waves carry very little energy.

With that in mind, the correct options are.

D

"Radio waves have a lower frequency, which makes them safer for humans."

B

"Radio waves take less energy to produce."

These are the two main reasons of why we use radio waves.

A ball is held at rest at the top of a hill. The ball is then released and starts rolling down the hill. At the bottom it reache
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Gravitational Potential Energy

Explanation:  

a ball is held rest at the top of hill  

gravitational potential energy will store due to its height  

it.   and  body will start move downward and its potential energy will convert into kinetic energy due to motion of body

at the ground level it will stop and potential energy will became zero and kinetic energy get convert into internal energy due to collisions
