A student is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. The student gathers the following data. A 3 column table with 3 rows labeled Speed of Sound. The first column is labeled medium with entries ice, water, steam. The second column is labeled temperature in degrees Celcius with entries 0, 25, 100. The last column is labeled speed of sound in meters per second with entries 3200, 1500, 346. A second 3 column table with 3 rows labeled speed of light. The first column is labeled medium with entries air, water, glass. The second column is labeled index of refraction with entries 1.00, 1.33, 1.57. The last column is labeled speed of light in meters per second with entries 2.99 times 10 Superscript 8 Baseline, 2.26 times 10 Superscript 8 Baseline, 1.91 times 10 Superscript 8 Baseline.

What conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data?

Light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through.
All sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed.
Light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas.
Tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.

This map shows how climate change might affect precipitation patterns in the great plains of the united states by the end of this century. brown shoes a decrease in percipitation, and blue shows an increase. the maps differ based on the predictive levels of green house emissions. the maps shows that northern area should get a. more pracipations regardless of emmissions b. less pracipation, regardless of emmissions levels c. more precipitation, but only when emission levels.southern areas show a. more pracipations regardless of emmissions b. less pracipation, regardless of emmissions levels c. more precipitation, but only when emission levels.to use these maps to prepare for natural disasters in the great plains, scientist need to ask? a. how many tons of emissions were used at the basis of the map.b. which types of fossil fuels are used in the great plains c. if you think the above is wrong it's probly c the question is cut off
