A vitner has two wines that he is testing the refractive index.Wine A has a higher sugar content than Wine B.Which statement describes the refractive indexes he will find for each wine with reasons?
A)Wine A has a larger density than Wine B and the refractive index for Wine A will be higher than Wine B
B)Wine B has a larger density than Wine A and the refractive index for Wine A will be lower than Wine B
C)The refractive indexes will be the same because they are made from the same grape
D)The refractive indexes will be the same because they have the same boiling point

The refractive index is directly proportional to the density of a substance. Since wine A has a higher sugar content, it will have a larger density than wine B. Therefore, the refractive index for wine A will be higher than wine B.
