State Goal 12:
Understand the fundamental concepts, principles and interconnections of the
life, physical and earth/space sciences.
C. Know and apply concepts that describe properties of matter and energy and the interactions between them.
Assessment Framework - Light and Sound

12.11.69. |
Indicate that the speed of light differs in some material from its speed in a vacuum is given by the index of refraction for that material, n. where n is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in the material. Also know that light follows the path of least time through various materials and that this is not the same as the shortest distance. |
