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

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).

Suppose the human trait for hair type is controlled by a simple dominant and recessive relationship at one locus. Curly hair, C,
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

A) The frequency of the dominant allele, C = 0.4376

B) frequency of the heterozygous genotype, Cc = 0.2461

Explanation:

Given -

Curly hair, C, is the dominant allele, and straight hair, c, is the recessive allele

Number of students with curly hair is 37

Thus frequency of genotype "CC"

= q^{2} = \frac{37}{117} \\= 0.3162

Thus, frequency of allele "q"

= \sqrt{0.3162} \\= 0.5623

As per Hardy Weinberg's first  equation-

p+q=1

Substituting the value of q, we get -

p+0.5623=1\\p= 0.4376

As per Hardy Weinberg's second equation -

p^2+q^2+2pq=1\\

Substituting the values of "p" and "q" we get -

0.4376^{2} + 0.3162+2pq = 1\\2pq = 0.2461\\

Hence,

A) The frequency of the dominant allele, C = 0.4376

B) frequency of the heterozygous genotype, Cc = 0.2461
