All isotopes of a particular element have the same atomic number. How then do the isotopes of a particular element differ?

xz_007 [3.2K]

Isotopes of an element will contain the same number of protons and electrons but will differ in the number of neutrons they contain. In other words, isotopes have the same atomic number because they are the same element but have a different atomic mass because they contain a different number of neutrons

Does a spherical bubble of air in a volume of water act to converge or to diverge light passing through it?

viktelen [127]

Answer:

diverge light

Explanation:

The refractive index of water is greater than that of air which means that water is more denser than air and also air is optically rarer than water.

Thus,

When the beam of the light is incident from the air to the bubble which contains air, the light bends away from the normal and then the light travels from air to water and bend towards the normal. Thus, the light is first bend away from the normal and then towards the normal which means that the bubble has diverging nature. The light will likely to diverge.
