**URGENT One light wave passes from air into water (n=1.33), and one light wave passes from air into glass (n=1.5). Which one is reflected more? Which one is refracted more? * The light that passes into glass is reflected and refracted more than water.

The light that passes into water is reflected more, and the light that passes into glass is refracted more.

The light that passes into water is reflected and refracted more than glass.

The light that passes into glass is reflected more, and the light that passes into water is refracted more.

the answer is d

Explanation:

the answer is d because when light hits water the light will look like its bending (refraction) when it hits a glass its bouncing off of the glass (reflected).

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
