Answers:

1) 1.359, 1.403

2) 2.207(10)^{8}m/s,  2.138(10)^{8}m/s    

Explanation:

The described situation is known as Refraction.  

Refraction is a phenomenon in which a wave (the light in this case) bends or changes it direction when passing through a medium with a refractive index different from the other medium.  

In this context, the Refractive index n is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material, and is defined as the relation between the speed of light in vacuum (c=3(10)^{8}m/s) and the speed of light v in the second medium:

n=\frac{c}{v}   (1)

On the other hand we have the Snell’s Law:  

n_{1}sin(\theta_{1})=n_{2}sin(\theta_{2})   (2)  

Where:  

n_{1} is the first medium refractive index . We are told is the air, hence n_{1}\approx 1

n_{2} is the second medium refractive index  

\theta_{1} is the angle of the incident ray  

\theta_{2} is the angle of the refracted ray  

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

1) Indexes of refraction for red and violet light1a) Red light

Using equation (2) according to Snell's Law and \theta_{1}=57.0\º   \theta_{2}=38.1\º:

(1)sin(57.0\º)=n_{2}sin(38.1\º)  

Finding n_{2}:

n_{2}=\frac{sin(57.0\º)}{sin(38.1\º)}  

n_{2}=1.359   (3)>>>Index of Refraction for red light

1b) Violet light

Again, using equation (2) according to Snell's Law and \theta_{1}=57.0\º   \theta_{2}=36.7\º:

(1)sin(57.0\º)=n_{2}sin(36.7\º)  

Finding n_{2}:

n_{2}=\frac{sin(57.0\º)}{sin(36.7\º)}  

n_{2}=1.403   (4) >>>Index of Refraction for violet light

2) Speeds of red and violet light1a) Red light

Here we are going to use equation (1):

n_{red}=\frac{c}{v_{red}}

v_{red}=\frac{c}{n_{red}}

Substituting (3) in this equation:

v_{red}=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{1.359}

v_{red}=2.207(10)^{8}m/s>>>>Speed of red light

1a) Violet light

Using again equation (1):

n_{violet}=\frac{c}{v_{violet}}

v_{violet}=\frac{c}{n_{violet}}

Substituting (4) in this equation:

v_{violet}=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{1.403}

v_{red}=2.138(10)^{8}m/s>>>>Speed of violet light

No it is Not because win ratio is differs say Ohio only won 7 out of 7 games and e

was in the playoffs while Alabama won 11 out of 11 games so it is harder to win 11 out of 1a games and it is easier to win 7 out of 7

Explanation:  would like brainliest but u don’t have to
