Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The refractive index of seawater is greater than freshwater. As the salinity of water increases, the
refractive index increases as well. Information can be found in the section Refraction Can Bend the
Paths of Light and Sound through Water



Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
When light energy is applied to molecules, the molecules begin to vibrate. The light's electromagnetic
energy is then converted to heat energy which can be used in many processes of life. Information can
be found in the section Light Does Not Travel Far through the Ocean.
