A forensic scientist examines a piece of glass that has a circular-shaped entry hole from a bullet. Becke lines do appear around the piece of glass when tested in a liquid. What can you determine from the evidence?
Group of answer choices

The glass was hit straight through, and it has the same refractive index as the liquid.

The glass was hit straight through, and it has a lower refractive index than the liquid.

The glass was hit at an angle, and it has a higher refractive index than the liquid.

The glass was hit at an angle, and it has a different refractive index than the liquid.



Answer :

Based on the evidence provided:

The circular-shaped entry hole from a bullet suggests that the impact was perpendicular to the surface of the glass.

Becke lines appearing around the glass when tested in a liquid indicates that there is a difference in refractive index between the glass and the liquid.

Combining these two pieces of information, the glass was hit straight through (perpendicular impact), and it has a different refractive index than the liquid. Therefore, the correct answer is:

The glass was hit straight through, and it has a different refractive index than the liquid.
