What is a property of a material that indicates how much it reduces the speed of light?
well kids, the answer is INDEX OF REFRACTION. (: science question on my homework
The bending of light as it moves from one material to another?
It's called refraction, and the amount of bending is determined by the index of refraction.
How do you think increasing a medium's index of refraction might affect the angle of refraction?
Q: How do you think increasing a medium's index of refraction might affect the angle of refraction?
How is the refractive index of glass is to water is related with that of air is to water?
Each substance has an index of refraction. The index of refraction of water is about 1.3330 . The index of refraction of air at standard conditions is about 1.0003 . There is no such thing as the index of refraction of "water to air".

Does the index of refraction equal the angle of refraction?
Not exactly, the angle of refraction = the angle of incidence, which means the ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is constant for two media. That is sin i /sin r = constant , and this constant is called refractive index

When light passes from a medium with a high index of refraction into a medium with a lower index of refraction which direction does the light bend?
A medium with a higher index of refraction, like diamond, is more dense than the medium with a lower index of refraction, like air. If the ray of light is moving from the less dense medium (lower index of refraction), to a more dense (higher index of refraction) the ray of light bends TOWARDS the normal.

When the mineral uvarovite has an index of refraction of 1.86. calculate the speed of light in this sample of uvarovite?
Use the definition of "index of refraction". In this case, you simply need to divide the speed of light in a vacuum by the index of refraction.
