Explain how technology and science are related

When you're playing Angry Birds on your smart phone, you likely don't realize how important science is to what you're doing. As the birds catapult through the air, science is probably the last thing on your mind. Aside from the physics involved in sending feathered projectiles flying through the air, there's a far deeper connection between science and playing your favorite games. That's because all technology, from smart phones to medical scanners to cars, are intimately connected with science. Without science, they wouldn't exist.

Science is the study of the natural world by collecting data through a systematic process called the scientific method. And technology is where we apply science to create devices that can solve problems and do tasks. Technology is literally the application of science. So it really is impossible to separate the two. In this lesson, we're going to go into a little bit more detail about how science and technology are related, including some examples.

the answer for apex is the lowest

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.
