What is the difference between clastic and bioclast?

Physics

Grace [21]3 years ago

The main difference is the source of the sediment that the rock is formed from. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed mostly from silicate sediment derived by the breakdown of pre-existing rocks. Bioclastic rocks are formed by the accumulation of fragmented organic remains (such as shell-sand) - i.e. the sediment is of biological rather than non-biological origin.

A 2 L balloon filled with gas is warmed from 280 K to 700 K. What is the volume of the gas after it is heated?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

New volume, v2 = 0.8L

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Original Volume = 2L

Original Temperature = 280K

New Temperature = 700K

To find new volume V2, we would use Charles' law.

Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Charles is given by;

VT = K

\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}

\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}

Making V2 as the subject formula, we have;

V_{2}= \frac{V1}{T1} * T_{2}

V_{2}= \frac{2}{700} * 280

V_{2}= 0.0029 * 280

V2 = 0.8L

Therefore, the volume of the gas after it is heated is 0.8L.

What causes dispersion of light?​
AysviL [449]
Dispersion occurs due to the different degrees of refraction experienced by different colours of light. Light of different colours may travel with the same speed in a vacuum, but they travel at different speeds in some refracting medium. The speed of violet light is relatively lower than that of red light.

Light travels through a liquid at 2.25e8 m/s. What is the index of refraction of the liquid?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The index of refraction of the liquid is n = 1.33 equivalent to that of water

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The index of refraction of light in a medium ( n ) determines the degree of "bending" of light in that medium.

- The index of refraction is material property and proportional to density of the material.

- The denser the material the slower the light will move through associated with considerable diffraction angles.

- The lighter the material the faster the light pass through the material without being diffracted as much.

- So, in the other words index of refraction can be expressed as how fast or slow light passes through a medium.

- The reference of comparison of how fast or slow the light is the value of c = 3.0*10^8 m/s i.e speed of light in vacuum or also assumed to be the case for air.

- so we can mathematically express the index of refraction as a ratio of light speed in the material specified and speed of light.

- The light passes through a liquid with speed v = 2.25*10^8 m/s :

                         n = c / v\\\\n = \frac{ 3*10^8 }{2.25*10^8} \\\\n = 1.33

- The index of refraction of the liquid is n = 1.33 equivalent to that of water.
