<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Refractive index is defined as the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in medium. It is represented as \eta. Speed of light in vacuum is always equal to 3\times 10^8m/s

Mathematically,

\eta=\frac{\text{Speed of light in vacuum}}{\text{Speed of light in medium}}

If the refractive index is more, the speed of light in that medium will be slow and vice-versa.

As, the refractive index of glass is more than the refractive index of space. Hence, the speed of light will be slower in glass.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D.

Sphinxa [80]
<h2>Answer: Resonance </h2>

Resonance is a phenomenon that occurs when a body capable of vibrating is subjected to the action of a periodic force, whose frequency of vibration approaches the characteristic frequency of vibration (called resonance frequence) of said body. This is due a relatively small force applied in a repeated form, causing the amplitude of the oscillating system to become very large.

In other words, for the specific case of sound waves, this phenomenon occurs when the frequency of the  wave that is external to the system or body coincides with the resonance frequency (characteristic frequency that reaches the maximum degree of oscillation) of this system or body.

In these circumstances the body vibrates, progressively increasing the amplitude of movement after each successive actions of the force. However, this effect can be destructive in some rigid materials.

Use the techniques to find the unit for speed​
stellarik [79]

Answer:

The formula for speed is speed=<u>d</u><u>i</u><u>s</u><u>t</u><u>a</u><u>n</u><u>c</u><u>e</u>

time

Explanation:

to work out what the units are for speed,you need to know the units for distance and time.In this example,distance is in metres(m) and time is in seconds (s) , so the units for speed is metre per second (m/s).

How are the sun and Earth's moon different?(2 points)
katovenus [111]

Answer: The Sun measures 1.4 million km across, while the Moon is a mere 3,474 km across. In other words, the Sun is roughly 400 times larger than the Moon. But the Sun also happens to be 400 times further away than the Moon, and this has created an amazing coincidence.
