As SCUBA divers go deeper underwater, the pressure from the weight of all the water above them increases tremendously which comp

resses the gases in their blood. What happens to the volume of gas in their blood as the diver rises quickly to the surface?

Answer:  The volume of gas expands because of the decrease in pressure as he tries to exit the water body, therefore he must take necessary precaution.

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law which states that the  the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature

ie P1VI=P2V2

A diver absorbs compressed nitrogen gas when  he dives into the water body, As he ascends  out of the water body having less pressure, the volume of nitrogen gas which he absorbs will tend to expand following  Boyle's Law.  Therefore a scuba driver should not rises quickly but slowly  to the surface or else the  expanding nitrogen gas can cause tiny bubbles in his blood and tissue to form together with joints pains and eventually  cause decompression sickness needing medical attention.

uppose that white light strikes a flat piece of flint glass in air, coming in at an angle of 60 degrees to the surface (30 degre
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Snell's law for index of refraction of a medium is as follows .

sin i / sin r = μ

i is angle of incidence  , r is angle of refraction and μ is refractive index.

sin r = sin i / μ .

As μ for blue light is greatest , angle of refraction for blue light will be least . Similarly  , angle of refraction will be maximum for red light .

So maximum deviation in the direction of light will occur in blue light due to least angle of refraction because

deviation angle = angle of incidence - angle of refraction .

So the order of light from inward towards surface

= blue , green , red .

Which of these experiments tests a chemical property of an object??
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
<span>B. shining a bright light on the objects and testing for decomposition </span> <span>      

In explanation, chemical property is a characteristic of a certain substance came from an outcome due to chemical change or reaction. In the situation above, more specifically toxicity is involved in the chemical property/change. Hence, when the object is tested for decomposition. Like for an example of decomposition simply in metals, rusting. Rusting a process of degeneration of metals. Here it works the same. Toxicity is how much damage did a certain entity do to the object. </span>
