The ovum and oviduct are part of which bodily system?

87% Answer Correctly

reproductive

circulatory

digestive

nervous

Approximately every 28 days during female ovulation an egg (ovum) is released from one of the ovaries and travels through the oviduct (fallopian tube) and into the uterus. At the same time, the endometrial lining of the uterus becomes prepared for implantation.


2

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

64% Answer Correctly

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

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

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

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


3
