Match the term to its correct definition: 1. Test variable (independent variable)
A. This is what is being measured during a scientific investigation.
2. Outcome variable (dependent variable)
B. This serves as a reference for comparison during a scientific investigation.
3. Control group
C. This is what is being purposefully changed during the scientific investigation.

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.

one "light year" is the distance that light travels, through vacuum, in one julian year.   that's 365.25 days, of 24 hours each.

the answer is the index of refraction of the second medium is higher. i just took the test.
