Frequency is measured in "Hertz". If one wave passes a particular point every second, the frequency of that wave is said to be "1 Hertz(Hz for short)". What can we deduce about a wave said to be "1 kiloHertz(kHz)"?

What is the relationship between amplitude and wavelength in a wave? (choose all that apply)
they have no relationship, other than the wavelength depends on the amplitude being greater than 0 m.
Wavelength increases as amplitude increases
Wavelength increases as amplitude decreases
Wavelength decreases as amplitude decreases

Imagine a light beam traveling from medium 1 into (and through) medium 2, just like in the simulation. The angle of incidence is 44 deg, and the index of refraction of medium 1 is 2.4. The light bends away from the normal a little bit, and the angle of refraction, when measured, turns out to be 56 deg. Calculate the index of refraction of medium 2 (remember, "medium" is a material that light moves through).
Type your answer as a decimal number

Imagine a light beam traveling from medium 1 into (and through) medium 2, just like in the simulation. The angle of incidence is 31 deg, and the index of refraction of medium 1 is 2.7. The light bends towards the normal (do you know what I mean when I say "the normal"?), and the angle of refraction, when measured, turns out to be 16 deg. Calculate the index of refraction of medium 2 (remember, "medium" is a material that light moves through).
