PROBLEM: Question: In a science class, the professor demonstrates refraction to the class. First, the professor shows a curved lens from a binocular, and then a flat pane of glass, demonstrating that 
 Option1: the curved lens refracts less light 
 Option2: the flat pane refracts less light.

PROBLEM: Question: If Mona is rafting on a river and the river is moving slowly, what happens to the size of particles that river deposits if the water speeds up? 
 Option1: increases 
 Option2: decreases 
 Explanation: The size of the eroded particles depends on the velocity of the water. Eventually, the water deposits the materials. As water slows, larger particles are deposited. As the water slows even more, smaller particles are deposited.

SOLUTION:
decreases
