Refractive index is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium. Calculated by the velocity of light in vacuum divided by velocity in a…

I believe that you can’t fully understand something until you’ve lived it or experienced it.

Last of all he looked at the head of the pilot who sat before him, at the airman 's cap which turned, neckless, into shoulders filled with a bullish strength and a forceful calm. The…
