A material has an index of refraction of 1.92 for light from a 560 nm source. What is the speed of light for this wavelength within the material? (c = 3.00  108 m/s)
 a. 2.19  108 m/s
  c. 1.56  108 m/s
  b. 4.68  108 m/s
  d. 1.92  108 m/s

Question 2

Metal lids on glass jars can often be loosened by running them under hot water. Why is this?
 a. The hot water is a lubricant.
  b. The metal and glass expand due to the heating, and the glass being of smaller radius expands less than the metal.
  c. The metal has a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than glass so the metal expands more than the glass, thus loosening the connection.
  d. This is just folklore.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
