The question is incomplete, the options in the question are:

The two materials have matching indexes of refraction.

The second material through which light propagates has a lower index of refraction.

The second material through which light propagates has a higher index of refraction.

The two materials are identical

Answer:

The two materials have matching indexes of refraction.

Explanation:

The phenomenon of refraction reveals that, when light propagates through the interface between two materials with different indexes of refraction, the direction of propagation of light changes. When this does not happen, it means that the two materials have very similar refractive indexes. For instance, the refractive index of glass Pyrex is 1.474 and that of glycerin is 1.473 hence no relevant change in the direction of propagation of light can be observed when light passes between the interface of the two substances. That does not mean that they are both the same material or identical materials.

How do you find the voltage of a section of a parallel circuit?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source. You can find total resistance in a Parallel circuit with the following formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +.

Hope this helps!

PLZ! PLZ! PLZ! HELP! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! Scientific Claim Engaging in scientific argument is a critical piece to the applicati
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

1The study of science and engineering should produce a sense of the process of argument necessary for advancing and defending a new idea or an explanation of a phenomenon and the norms for conducting such arguments. In that spirit, students should argue for the explanations they construct, defend their interpretations of the associated data, and advocate for the designs they propose. (NRC Framework, 2012, p. 73)

Argumentation is a process for reaching agreements about explanations and design solutions. In science, reasoning and argument based on evidence are essential in identifying the best explanation for a natural phenomenon. In engineering, reasoning and argument are needed to identify the best solution to a design problem. Student engagement in scientific argumentation is critical if students are to understand the culture in which scientists live, and how to apply science and engineering for the benefit of society. As such, argument is a process based on evidence and reasoning that leads to explanations acceptable by the scientific community and design solutions acceptable by the engineering community.

Argument in science goes beyond reaching agreements in explanations and design solutions. Whether investigating a phenomenon, testing a design, or constructing a model to provide a mechanism for an explanation, students are expected to use argumentation to listen to, compare, and evaluate competing ideas and methods based on their merits. Scientists and engineers engage in argumentation when investigating a phenomenon, testing a design solution, resolving questions about measurements, building data models, and using evidence to evaluate claims.

Compare and critique two arguments on the same topic and analyze whether they emphasize similar or different evidence and/or interpretations of facts.

Respectfully provide and receive critiques about one’s explanations, procedures, models and questions by citing relevant evidence and posing and responding to questions that elicit pertinent elaboration and detail.

Construct, use, and/or present an oral and written argument supported by empirical evidence and scientific reasoning to support or refute an explanation or a model for a phenomenon or a solution to a problem.

Make an oral or written argument that supports or refutes the advertised performance of a device, process, or system, based on empirical evidence concerning whether or not the technology meets relevant criteria and constraints.

Evaluate competing design solutions based on jointly developed and agreed-upon design criteria.

If an electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 1.60 x 102V, what is its de Broglie wavelength
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

0.09 x10^-10m

Explanation:

Using wavelength=( 12.27 A)/√V

= 12.27 x 10^-10/ √1.6x10^2

= 0.09x10^-10m

If no friction acts on a diver during a dive, then which of the following statements is true? A) The total mechanical energy of
EleoNora [17]
If no frictional work is considered, then the energy of the system (the driver at all positions is conserved.

Let
position 1 = initial height of the diver (h₁), together with the initial velocity (v₁).
position 2 = final height of the diver (h₂) and the final velocity (v₂).

The initial PE = mgh₁ and the initial KE  = (1/2)mv₁²
where g = acceleration due to gravity,
m = mass of the diver.
Similarly, the final PE and KE are respectively mgh₂ and (1/2)mv₂².
PE in position 1 is converted into KE due to the loss in height from position 1 to position 2.
 
Therefore
(KE + PE) ₁ = (KE + PE)₂

Evaluate the given answers.
A) The total mechanical energy of the system increases.
     FALSE

B) Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy but not vice versa.
     TRUE

C) (KE + PE)beginning = (KE + PE) end.
     TRUE

D) All of the above.
     FALSE
