Three flat layers of transparent material are stacked upon one another. The top layer has index of refraction n1, the middle has n2 and the bottom one has n3. If n1 > n2 > n3, and if a ray of light strikes the top layer at an angle of incidence, in which layer is the angle of refraction the greatest? Why? a. the bottom layer
b. the top layer
c. Once the ray enters the touching layers, the angle of refraction remains constant.
d. the middle layer

During physical science, ms. greene challenged her students to produce an energy transformation. james and jill wrapped a 4-inch nail with a coil of fifty turns of wire. they connected one end of the coil to one terminal of a knife switch. they connected the other terminal of the knife switch to the battery. finally, they connected the end of the coil to the other terminal of the battery. james held the tip of a 1-inch nail near the flat end of the 4-inch nail. jill closed the knife switch quickly and then opened it. the 1-inch nail was pulled toward the 4-inch nail. what is the best explanation of why the nail moved? a) electrical energy was converted to mechanical energy in the 1-inch nail. b) the 4-inch nail became an electromagnet and the magnetic force attracted the 1-inch nail. c) the electric current in the 4-inch nail was converted to mechanical energy in the 1-inch nail. d) the 4-inch nail had a positive charge and the 1-inch nail had a negative charge. opposites attracted.
