What occurs during the death of a large star to make all heavy elements?

Chemistry

rodikova [14]3 years ago

As the star collapses, fusion occurs in the core of the star. This process compacts atoms and if the star is sufficiently massive, stellar nucleosynthesis takes place and heavier elements are formed. If nuclear fusion is unable to prevent gravitational collapse, the star will blow itself apart as a supernova, ejecting the heavier elements into space at very high speed. So space is seeded with heavier elements, to be captured by the gravitational attraction of other celestial bodies and absorbed into solar systems.

Which term is defined as the change in the direction of light when it goes from one medium into a different medium?
vovikov84 [41]
The term defined as the change in direction of light when it goes from one medium into a different medium is refraction.

Refraction is the change of direction on the propagation of a beam of light when it passes from a medium to other; this only happens when the light travels at different speeds in both media.

When a beam of light that travels in the air incedes in a slab of glass, part of the beam is reflected (bounces) and part is refracted (it penetrates in the glass and changes the angle).


Also,due to the different speeds of light in air and water, when a beam of light passes from air to water, it refracts.
