Answer:

a. The blue light is bent toward the normal more than the red light.

Explanation:

When light travels from a less dense medium, in this case air into a denser medium (glass) it is bent towards the normal because of the reduction in speed due to the dense medium.In this scenario we have the same incident angle of 30º. therefore, we consider the wavelength of the light because at shorter wavelengths we have more refraction occurring as compared to longer wavelengths. We know that Blue light has a shorter wavelength as compared to red light, which means it will bend toward the normal more than the red light.

scZoUnD [109]

The correct option is (B) Aluminum is a metal and is shiny, malleable, ductile, conducts heat and electricity, forms basic oxides, and forms cations in aqueous solution.

Since Aluminium is in group 13, and all the elements in group 13 are either metals or metalloids(Boron). Hence we are left with option (B) and (D). Boron is the only metalloid in group 13 and aluminium is a metal(not a metalloid); therefore, we are left with only one option which is Option (B). And Aluminium is shiny, malleable, ductile, conducts heat and electricity, forms basic oxides, and forms cations in aqueous solution.
