Document Summary
A medium s index of refraction (ior)= the speed of light in a vacuum divided by the soeed of light in that medium. The ior of a liquid depends on the density of the liquid. The greater the relative ior, the more light bends. Collection of vapor molecules in useable liquid form. Used to generate water or other liquids without impurities. Often used in hospitals, distilleries to produce a pure product. In developing countries, wastewater is treated before being released back into the environment.
