Physics
1 answer:
mote1985 [20]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Option C and D only

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect  because refractive index of a material is the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in a any given medium

Option B is correct as the speed of light in vacuum is always greater than the speed of light in any given medium.

Option C is correct

Option D is incorrect

Option E is incorrect because the denser the medium the more is the refractive index. Water is denser than air, hence it should have more refractive index as compared to that of air.

Hi, can anyone write 5 or 4 paragraph about virus pls I rly need it DO NOT PLAGIARIZE!
Licemer1 [7]
Viruses are microscopic organisms that exist almost everywhere on earth. They can infect animals, plants, fungi, and even bacteria.

Sometimes a virus can cause a disease so deadly that it is fatal. Other viral infections trigger no noticeable reaction.

A virus may also have one effect on one type of organism, but a different effect on another. This explains how a virus that affects a cat may not affect a dog.

Viruses vary in complexity. They consist of genetic material, RNA or DNA, surrounded by a coat of protein, lipid (fat), or glycoprotein. Viruses cannot replicate without a host, so they are classified as parasitic.

They are considered the most abundant biological entity on the planet.
