Biogenous sediments are a kind of ocean sediments and ooze is one of the biogenic sediments which contains the remains of dead organism.

Explanation:

Ocean sediments are the insoluble materials like rocks or other solid particles which enter the ocean from the land area because of wind blow, floods, ice break and river water mixing etc.

Sediments do not have a definite shape and size. They may agglomerate at various temperatures and they are originate or coagulate at any locations of ocean.

The ocean sediments are classified in four types based on the basic composition of sediments.

They are lithogenous sediments which is composed of rocks or other solid land wastage, biogenous sediments which are composed of remains of dead organisms and their skeletons, hydrogenous sediments which are composed of the chemical wastage released in water from different factories and cosmogenous sediments which are composed of any waste entered in ocean from space like asteroid remains, rocket remains etc.

Among these, the ocean sediment which contains remains of dead organisms are termed as biogenous wastage.

The best example of biogenic sediments composed of dead organism remains are termed as ooze which is composed of 30% biogenic remains of plankton and its skeleton.

The angular velocity, ω= 
2π/t; t = 24 hrs = 24 x 3600 seconds = 86400 s
ω = 7.27 x 10⁻⁵
v = ωr
= 7.27 x 10⁻⁵ x 3242.8 x 1.6 x 1000 (converting miles to meters)

Refraction occurs when a wave enters a new medium at an angle because
devlian [24]

Answer

The refracted wave must obey Snell's equation

Ni sin θi = Nr sin θr

If Nr differs from Ni then sin θr  will differ from sin θi

If the wave originates from point A and ends at point B then Snell's Law shows that the time for light to get from point A to point B is a minimum.
