Is it true that Light travels faster in a material with a higher index of refraction?
true
Does light travel faster in a material with a higher index of refraction?
Light travels faster in liquid material with a higher index or reflection.
How does light travle in a material with a higher index of refraction?
It will usually change. Usually you would expect the speed to decrease, but note that the "optical density", i.e. the index of refraction, is not entirely related to the density (as defined by mass/volume).
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 you are under the water at 3 pm and you look up at the water is the sun going to be lower or higher than it appears?
It will be higher due to refraction.

What happen when light is directed at a transparent materials?
When light is directed at transparent materials, it bounces off of the particles and is refracted accordingly. This causes the light to bend according to the materials refraction index. The higher the refraction index of the material, and the thicker it is, the more it bends the light and separates the colors.

How does a rainbow happen on a cloudy day?
It happens when the sun is shining and there it is rain as well, so you must stand with your back tothe sun to see it. The lower the sum is to the horizon, the higher the arch of the rainbow will be.it. also happens when the refraction of light happens
What happens to substances that are less dense than the surrounding material?
There are a number of things that may happen to substances that are less dense than the surrounding material. In most cases, this is what will cause them to float on the surrounding material.
What happens when light moves from a material in which it's speed is higher to a material in which it's speed is lower?
-- its speed decreases -- its wavelength increases -- if it doesn't approach the boundary perpendicular to it, then it bends closer to the perpendicular

It will be higher due to refraction.
What happens to maslow's theory when a need is satisfied?
Another higher-level need emerges that needs to be satisfied
What is the normal dispersion of the refractive indices?
In which the index of refraction is higher for short wavelengths and lower for long wavelengths.
What happens when a need is satisfied according to maslow's theory?
When a need is satisfied according to Maslow's theory, an individual's attention shifts to fulfilling the next higher level need in the hierarchy. As lower level needs are met, people progress towards fulfilling higher level needs such as social belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. This phenomenon is known as the hierarchy of needs.
