Answer:

By measuring the speed of light in both in space and that unknown substance

Explanation:

Refractive Index (Index of Refraction) is a value calculated from the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to that in a second medium of greater density.

By measuring the speed of light in that medium and dividing it by speed of light 3*10^8 we can measure the refractive index of any medium

Action and reaction force always cancel each other. <br><br> True or False.
polet [3.4K]
False. They have same magnitude and opposite direction but they never cancel as each of them does the action on the other body, and for the forces to cancel out they need to act ob the same body.

Hope this helps!

A 2,000 g quantity of C-14 is left to undergo radioactive decay. The half-life of C-14 is approximately 5,700 years. After going
Katyanochek1 [597]
Start with 2,000 grams.
After 1 half-life, 1,000 grams are left.
After another half-life, 500 are left.
After another half-life, 250 are left.
After another half-life, 125 are left.

That was FOUR half-lifes.
