What happens to an index when new set of rows are inserted into table

Hello All,

This is an interview question which i cam across recently.

Consider you have an index a b-tree (or) a bitmap, if i am trying to change the cardinality of the table by inserting rows into a table, what happens to the indexes on them?

I mean how oracle restructures them and places the new values inside the index?

Howdy, Stranger!
