1) Medium "b" has more optical density
2) Light must hit the interface between the two mediums perpendicularly
Explanation:
1)
Refraction occurs when light propagates from a medium into a second medium.
The optical density of a medium is given by its index of refraction, which is defined as:
where
c is the speed of light in a vacuum
v is the speed of light in a medium
Higher index of refraction means higher optical density, and light propagater slower into a medium with higher optical density.
In this problem, light propagates faster through medium "a" than medium "b": this means that medium "a" has lower refractive index of medium "b", and so "b" has more optical density.
2)
We can answer this part by referring to Snell's law, which gives the relationship between the direction of the incident ray and of the refracted ray when light passes through the interface between two media:
where
are the index of refraction of the two mediums
are the angle of incidence and of refraction (the angle that light makes with the normal to the surface in medium 1 and medium 2)
Here we want the direction of propagation of the light ray not to change: this means that it must be
(1)
However, here we have two mediums "a" and "b" with different index of refraction, so
Therefore the only angle that can satisfy eq.(1) is
So, the light must hit the surface perpendicular to the interface between the two mediums.

Answer:
see below
Explanation:
First, the obvious, as you press the gas pedal harder the acceleration goes up as well. Conversely, is you do not press the pedal, you will not accelerate. This determines that is I press the gas pedal, it will CAUSE the car to accelerate. This proves causation.
Now, correlation. The definition of correlation in statistics is any statistical relationship between two random variables or data. This simply means that these two events are connected to one another. A POSITIVE correlation is when two correlated events move in the same direction as one another. I have added a graph to help visualize this. In this problem as the gas is pressed harder, the acceleration increases. If the pressure on the pedal was decreased, then the acceleration also decreases. If the pressure on the pedal is constant, the the acceleration is constant.
I hope this helps!
