What happens to speed of light when light goes into air?
That depends what it comes out of. If it passes into air from vacuum, thenits speed decreases. If it passes into air from water or jello, then its speedincreases.
How is clean fresh water produced in nature?
if the water flows through a material such as sand, the impurities get trapped and the water passes through.
What occurs when light passes from water into a flint glass?
Its speed decreases, its wavelength becomes smaller, and its frequency remains the same.
What happens to the velocity and wavelength of light when it passes from air into water?

The addition of water vapor as the air passes over the moist mucous membranes on inhalation decreases the amount of compared to the outside air?
Oxygen.
Does crystals grow faster in salt water or fresh water?
In presence of salt the crystals grow faster because the solubility of salt decreases the solubility of any other compound in water.
Does the amount of digested food digested in the large intestine increases?
The volume of the undigested food decreases as it passes through the large intestine. As the colon absorbs excess water from undigested food waste, the volume of that waste decreases.

What decreases as the ocean depth decreases?
Water pressure.
Will the ship sink further into the seawater than if it was in fresh water?
The ship will sink slightly. Salt water is denser there for heavy objects will float more in it. When the ship goes back to fresh water the density decreases and the ship lowers again.
