Given four hypothetical taxa, construct a tree in which Taxon G is more closely related to Taxon L than to Taxon A, but all three of these taxa are more closely related to each other than Taxon F. The most obvious way to determine the evolutionary relationship of organisms (i.e. their phylogenetic tree) is compare morphological similarities
At this time, the concept of index of refraction should be discussed on relative terms. When a substance bends light more than another, it is said to have a higher index of refraction. Oil has a higher index of refraction than water or air.Assessment: Students' responses to key concepts and their responses to additional examples.t this time, the concept of index of refraction should be discussed on relative terms.

Visible Light Wavelength Dispersion. Although reference is usually made to a standard and fixed refractive index for a substance, careful measurements indicate that the index of refraction for a particular material varies with the frequency (and wavelength) of radiation, or the color of visible light.hen a light wave passes from a less refractive medium (such as air) to a more refractive medium (such as water), the velocity of the wave decreases. Conversely, when light passes from a more refractive medium (water) to a less refractive medium (air), the velocity of the wave increases.
