How does the index of refraction affect frequency?
By the amount of time:)
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.
Does the wavlength increase when a refraction of a wave occurs when the wave travels from one material into another?
The wavelength changes. Whether it increases or decreases depends on the index of refraction of both materials.
When light enters a different medium the amount that the light is bent as it enters the medium is determind by the medium's index of?
When light enters a different medium, the amount that the light is bent as it enters the medium is determined by the medium's index of..........=refraction
Does a simple machine increase the amount of work that a person can do?
no it does not increase the amount of work, the amount of work always stays the same.
Which action would increase the amount of carbon in the environment?
Burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas increase the amount of carbon in the environment.

What does refractive index mean?
The amount of refraction depends on the difference in density between two mediums. So, the amount of refraction a material has, or it's refraction index, is the amount light will bend as it goes from medium into another medium. For instance, Vacuum is considered to have a refraction index of 1 and all other materials being denser than vacuum will naturally have a larger refraction index, they bend light more. So, it simply means that- since the object has a high density it will slow down light by a greater amount.
What structure of the eye can change the amount of refraction?
I believe it is the lense
What is the amount of increase or decrease in revenue that is expected from a particular course of action as compared with an alternative is termed?
Differential rev
What is the physical significance of refractive index?
The amount of refraction depends on the difference in density between two mediums. So, the amount of refraction a material has, or it's refraction index, is the amount light will bend as it goes from medium into another medium. For instance, Vacuum is considered to have a refraction index of 1 and all other materials being denser than vacuum will naturally have a larger refraction index, they bend light more. So, it simply means that- since the object has a high density it will slow down light by a greater amount.
Where does the greatest amount of light refraction take place in the eye?
The retina.
Does the wavlength increase when a refraction of a wave occurs when the wave travels from one material into another?
The wavelength changes. Whether it increases or decreases depends on the index of refraction of both materials.
How does refraction affect ocean wave action along the shore?
they spread out and expand less energy
State the relationship between the amount of bending and the index of refraction as light passes from an optically less dense medium to an optically denser one?
The amount of bending that a light ray experiences can be expressed in terms of the angle of refraction (more accurately, by the difference between the angle of refraction and the angle of incidence). A ray of light may approach the boundary at an angle of incidence of 45-degrees and bend towards the normal. If the medium into which it enters causes a small amount of refraction, then the angle of refraction might be a value of about 42-degrees. On the other hand if the medium into which the light enters causes a large amount of refraction, the angle of refraction might be 22-degrees. (These values are merely arbitrarily chosen values to illustrate a point.) The diagram below depicts a ray of light approaching three different boundaries at an angle of incidence of 45-degrees. The refractive medium is different in each case, causing different amounts of refraction.
When light enters a different medium the amount that the light is bent as it enters the medium is determind by the medium's index of?
