Answer:
D.diamond
Explanation:
Refraction occurs due to the bending of light rays as they pass from one medium to another. The light rays bend as their speed changes as they pass from one medium to another. The more the speed changes, the more the light bends and therefore more refraction occurs. When light passes from air to the diamond, the speed of light decreases more than any of the other materials listed in the given choices. So the light rays slow down the most diamond and so most refraction occurs in diamond.
Well, there aren't actually ANY that apply, because you haven't listed any. But I've lived a long time, and I remember hearing about electromagnetic waves and things that use them, so I can list a FEW of them for you:
-- radios
-- TVs
-- garage-door openers
-- TV remotes
-- cell phones
-- smart phones
-- GPS
-- walkie-talkies
-- car headlights
-- lava lamps
-- toasters
-- LEDs
-- light bulbs
-- fluorescent light tubes
-- police radios
-- Doppler weather radars
-- CB radios
-- ham radios
-- neon signs
-- eyeglasses
-- microscopes
-- telescopes
-- gas stoves
-- electric stoves
-- wood stoves
-- microwave ovens
-- tanning beds
-- cameras
-- lasers
-- CD recorders and players
-- DVD recorders and players
-- Bluray recorders and players
-- movie cameras
-- movie projectors
-- reading lamps
-- candles
-- whale-oil lamps
-- kerosene lanterns
-- flashlights
-- campfires
-- coffee percolators
-- heat lamps
-- cordless phones
These are just the ones I can think of right now off the top of my head. There are a lot of others.
This is a good question. The short (but less satisfying) answer is: "because the hydrostatic pressure of oil at a certain depth depends on the height of the oil level, measured from that point." So, you can have a tiny amount of oil but arranged in a column that makes it very tall/high and get high pressure, and have same amount of oil spread so that the height is negligible to produce a negligible amount of pressure. The exact formula for pressure is P=r*h*g (r stands for the liquid density, h for height, and g for gravitational acceleration).
The long answer, but much more satisfying, goes through the derivation of this formula. I recommend searching for a good video explaining hydrostatic pressure. (I can't post links).
