because cork is less dense than water
If you meant optical density by the term 'denser ' Then the answer is.... The light bends towards normal when it travels from a optically less dense medium to optically dense medium. So angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction
12 cm3 of Mercury is more dense than 7 cm3 of Hydrogen (at the same Temperature and Pressure), so 12 cm3 is more dense than 7 cm3.Whereas 12 cm3 of Hydrogen is less dense than 7 cm3 of Mercury (at the same temperature and pressure), so 7 cm3 is more dense than 12 cm3!Density depends upon the mass of the substance contained in the volume, so given two volumes, no statement can be made about the relative densities of those volumes without any knowledge of the mass of the volumes: density = mass/volume.Knowing the densities of the substances of the volumes, the volume is immaterial as the density is the same - density is the mass per unit volume.

No, gases are less dense than metals. Metals have high density due to closely packed atoms in their solid state, while gases have low density as their particles are spread far apart and have much lower mass.
Water, oil, and mercury are arranged in increasing order of density. Water is less dense than oil, which is less dense than mercury. So the order would be water (less dense), oil, and then mercury (most dense).
No, rocks are denser than mercury, so they would sink in mercury. Mercury is a very dense liquid at room temperature, so objects that are less dense than mercury will float on it.
Even if metals can be less dense than the sugar, metals are solid and not of powder
Yes, the Earth's moon is less dense than Mercury. Mercury is one of the densest planets in the solar system, with a density about 5.4 times that of water, whereas the Moon has a density about 3.3 times that of water.
Iron floats in mercury because it is less dense than mercury, whereas gold sinks because it is more dense than mercury. The density of a material determines whether it will float or sink in another substance, with denser materials sinking and less dense materials floating.
No
Yes, as the lead is less dense than the mercury.
Water floats when it is turned into ice, because in this form it is less dense (it crystallizes, and the structure expands). It also can float in combinations of liquids, for example, it is less dense than liquid mercury, but more dense than oil, so it would 'float' on the mercury. Liquid mercury is very dense, and doesn't usually float on things.
The density of rubber can vary, and the density of wood can vary even more (unless we're putting air in the rubber to make foam). In general, however, wood is less dense than rubber, rubber is less dense than copper, and copper is less dense than mercury.
Stones do not float in mercury because mercury is a very dense liquid, much denser than a stone. Any object denser than mercury will sink in it. In general, objects float in a liquid only if they are less dense than the liquid.
