When walking barefoot, Kevin can walk across the grass easily, but when he crosses the paved street, the street is hot and burns

his feet. At the beach he walks quickly across the hot sand to the cool water. Why do some substances feel hot to his feet and others do not? Radiation is heat transfer through waves. Specific heat is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a substance 1 degree C.​

You are looking at a yellow flower growing outside in the sunshine. Why does it look yellow?
Alchen [17]

Answer:

It looks yellow because that is the only (major) color reflected.

Visible spectra is from about 4000-7000 Angstroms (10^-10 m).

Red are longer wavelengths and blue are the shorter wavelengths.

The Sodium doublet (yellow) occurs around 5900 Angstroms.

Estimate how far apart the rays of deepest red and deepest violet light are as they exit the bottom surface. assume nred = 1.57
Harlamova29_29 [7]
We begin by noting that the angle of incidence is the one that's taken with respect to the normal to the surface in question. In this case the angle of incidence is 30. The material is Flint Glass according to the original question. The refractive indez of air n1=1, the refractive index of red in flint glass is nred=1.57, finally for violet in the glass medium is nviolet=1.60. Snell's Law dictates:
n_1sin(\theta_1)=n_2sin(\theta_2)
Where \theta_2 differs for each wavelenght, that means violet and red will have different refractive indices in the glass.
In the second figure provided details are given on which are the angles in question, \Delta x is the distance between both rays.
\theta_{2red}=Asin(\frac{sin(30)}{1.57})\approx 18.5705
\theta_{2violet}=Asin(\frac{sin(30)}{1.60})\approx 18.21
At what distance d from the incidence normal will the beams land at the bottom?
For violet we have:
d_{violet}=h.tan(\theta_{2violet})\approx 0.0132m
For red we have:
d_{red}=h.tan(\theta_{2red})\approx 0.0134m
We finally have:
\Delta x=d_{red}-d_{violet}\approx2.8\times10^{-4}m
