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

Biology

Liula [17]4 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).

What percentage of babies have Brown and Blue eyes?
-Dominant- [34]

20 babies were born in the ward, 10 of them had blue eyes and the other 10 had brown eyes.

% of blue eyes babies is 50% and % of brown eyes babies is also 50% (10/20*100).

<h3>What is a Dominant trait?  </h3>

               

Brown eye color gene is a dominant trait, and it can express itself in  pure breed  condition as well as impure breed condition.

Blue eye color gene is recessive and can only express itself in pure breed recessive condition, the dominant gene repress the expression of the recessive gene phenotypically, but the genetic makeup remains the same.    

Hence, the blue-eyed babies have pure breed recessive genotype and brown eyed babies have pure breed   dominant genotype or    genotype.

What structures compose the diencephalon?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Thalamus, hypothalamus, and epithalamus

Explanation:

Diencephalon, the central core of the brain is located superior to the midbrain. The thalamus, hypothalamus, and epithalamus together make diencephalon.

-Thalamus makes around 80% of the diencephalon. Thalamus consists of two nuclei of gray matter along with interspersed tract of white matter.

-Hypothalamus is the part of diencephalon that is present inferior of the thalamus.

-The pineal gland and habenular nuclei together make epithalamus that is located posterior to the thalamus.

Which of the following hominin taxa had the LARGEST average cranial capacity?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

Starting from the initial primates to the hominids, and eventually, to Homo sapiens, the brain of humans has grown spontaneously. The volume of the brain has increased with the evolution of humans, that is, starting from about 600 cubic centimeters in Homo habilis to 1600 cubic centimeters in Homo neanderthalensis. The Homo neanderthalensis was the hominid with the largest size of the brain, that is, with the maximum cranial capacity. The enhancement in the size of the brain ceased with neanderthals. After that the shrinking of the brain size took place.
