Q:

Light travels slowest in

A) Glass B) Water
C) Air D) Vacuum
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Glass

Explanation:

Because the refractive index of glass is highest, light travels slowly in Glass. 

We know that the speed of light depends on the refraction index. The higher the index of refraction is, the slower the speed of light is.


R.I of air and vacuum = 0 (air is a teeny bit more but can be taken as 0)
R.I of water = 1.33
R.I of glass = 1.4.

 

Hence, Light travels slowest in Glass.

Q:

The output quality of a printer is measured by

A) Dots per line B) Dots printed per unit time
C) Dots per inch D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Dots per inch

Explanation:

DPI [Dots Per Inch] is a measurement of output quality of printer resolution. It represents number of ink dots the printer can place in an area of one square inch. The lesser the DPI the less sharper the image and vice versa.

 

Therefore, a printer that may have 400 DPI, a printer that can print 400 x 400 per square inch or 1,60,000 dots per inch.
