The refractive index is essentially the speed of light through a vacuum (extremely similar to air) divided by the speed of light through given medium.
I also attached some of my physics notes on refraction and that sort of jazz as they may help :)
Echolocation is the process of finding objects by emitting sounds and interpreting their reflections. This process uses echo. When sound is produced, it travels and hits an object. Sound bounces off the object and is reflected back. The echo produced helps to identify the location of the object and even size of the object. Echolocation is used by animals such as bats and dolphins to navigate and also hunt.
Answer:
In my opinion I think that the answer is C sorry If I get this wrong.
Answer:
Nima and Natasha are absolutely correct.
Explanation:
When connecting two resistors in series, their resistances add:

which means that whenever we add a resistance in series, their magnitudes will add, giving us a resistance that is greater than the original resistance, which will demand less current from the battery because of ohm's law:

So, the greater the resistance, the smaller the current.
When connecting two resistors in parallel, the reciprocal of ther resistances add:

or

The equivalent resistance will always be less than the smallest resistor in the circuit, so the equivalent resistance will always decrease as more resistors are added. A decrease in the resistance means that the current will increase.
