Water has a refractive index of 1.33. Which of the following is true?

64% Answer Correctly

light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than it does in water

light travels 1.33 times slower in a vacuum than it does in water

light is 1.33 times dimmer in a vacuum than it is in water

light is 1.33 times brighter in a vacuum than it is in water


Solution

The speed of light varies based on the material that the waves are passing through. The refractive index of a material indicates how easily light travels through it compared to how easily light travels through a vacuum. For example, the refractive index of water is 1.33, meaning that light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than it does in water.


2

Cellular fermentation takes place:

50% Answer Correctly

anaerobically

in plant cells

in the presence of oxygen

aerobically


Solution

If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.
