How is the speed of light affected as light passes at an angle from air to water

Biology

Liula [17]3 years ago

They are said to be “denser” than air. what happens is that light slows down when it passes from the less dense air into the denser glass of water. this slowing down the ray of light also causes the ray of light to change directions. it is the change in the speed of the light that causes refraction.

The index of refraction of water (1.33) is greater than that of air (1.00).
With that said the index of refraction is related to the velocity of light by:

n = \frac{c}{v}

where n is the index of refraction, c is the speed of light in a vacuum and v is the velocity of light in the medium.
As c is constant we can see that the speed of light in a medium is inversely proportional to the index of refraction

n \: \propto \: \frac{1}{v}

therefore the medium with the lower index of refraction will have the greatest velocity of light (Air).

Antibodies that act against a particular foreign substance are released by ________. antibodies that act against a particular fo
MissTica
The correct answer is "plasma cells". 

Plasma cells are differentiated or mature B cells capable of producing antibodies against a particular foreign substance. B cells are stimulated to differentiate into plasma cells when it binds to two receptors of helper T cell; having the T cells "help" the B cells to differentiate to plasma cells. These T cells have the antigenic information passed to them by antigen presenting cells such as dendritic cells and these will be passed to the B cells and plasma cells will produce antibodies against this specific antigen.

If a boy exhibits a sex-linked trait that is carried on the X chromosome, what must be true?
ad-work [718]

Answer;

C. His mother carried at least one allele for that trait

Explanation;

-Men have a single allele of each gene on the X chromosome, inherited from their mother, and a single allele of each gene on the Y chromosome, from their father.

-A sex-linked trait is a trait that is controlled by a gene or an allele located on the sex chromosome.

-X-linked traits are maternally inherited from carrier mothers or from an affected father. Each son born to a carrier mother has a 50% probability of inheriting the X-chromosome carrying the mutant allele.

Reasons why the queen is the most important in the hive.<br> (No LINK)
Alex

Answer:

I assume you are referring to bees?

Explanation:

From what I know and this is just surface level knowledge, she is the one who births the hive and usually designates their purpose once she has laid the eggs. She herself does not do much, she is just the one that the infrastructure of the hive follows in maintaining the hive itself. I hope this helps. Good luck!
