Answer:-  C. A person claims red cars are unsafe even though studies show no correlation between the color and safety of cars.

Explanation:-

  • Illusory correlation is a type of correlation in which we relate two unrelated variables.

In statement C. it is said that a person claims red cars are unsafe even though studies show there is no correlation between the color and safety of cars.

Thus, here is a correlation between unrelated variables.

Hence, "C" is the scenario which best illustrates the concept of illusory correlation.

Illusory correlation is when a relationship between two variables is perceived even though it does not exist. An example of this is C.

A ray of light travels across a liquid-to-glass interface. if the indices of refraction for the liquid and glass are, respective
prisoha [69]
When it comes to optics, Snell's law is the basic formula to be used. If you notice, when light hits the water, the light does not travel in the same direction. After, it hits the water, it changes in angle. Light becomes refracted. This is observed when your hands tend to become bigger if you place it underwater. The formula for Snell's Law is

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂sin θ₂, where n is the index of refraction. This depends on the type of medium. For example, for air, n=1. The parameters θ₁ is the angle of incidence, and θ₂ is the angle of refraction. Critical angle is the incident angle needed so that the refract angle is 90°. So, modifying the equation:

n₁ sin θcrit = n₂sin 90°, since sin 90°=1,
sin θcrit = n₂/n₁
θcrit = sin ⁻¹ (n₂/n₁)

Since liquid comes first before glass, n₁=1.75 and n₂=1.52. Substituting,
θcrit = sin ⁻¹ (1.52/1.75)
θcrit = 60.29°
