1. Most PE, because PE is directly proportional to distance (height)
Height: 100 meters
Speed: 0 mph
2. Most KE, because KE is directly proportional to speed
Height: 10 meters
Speed: 40 mph
3. Most TE, average KE
Height: 10 meters
Speed: 40 mph
4. The skater gains thermal energy as she goes down the slope, because the speed of the skater increases, so it increases the total kinetic energy of the particles, and makes them vibrate faster, resulting in a higher temperature.
While the answer is that it does, it transmits light VERY poorly. Most of the light bounces off it and the rest is refracted into the ocean. This is why you can't see much that is far away from you in the ocean unlike if you're just on land.
Answer: To focus on a near object – the lens becomes thicker, this allows the light rays to refract (bend) more strongly. To focus on a distant object – the lens is pulled thin, this allows the light rays to refract slightly.
