A) 1.55

The speed of light in a medium is given by:

v=\frac{c}{n}

where

c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light in a vacuum

n is the refractive index of the material

In this problem, the speed of light in quartz is

v=1.94\cdot 10^8 m/s

So we can re-arrange the previous formula to find n, the index of refraction of quartz:

n=\frac{c}{v}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.94\cdot 10^8 m/s}=1.55

B) 550.3 nm

The relationship between the wavelength of the light in air and in quartz is

\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}

where

\lambda is the wavelenght in quartz

\lambda_0 is the wavelength in air

n is the refractive index

For the light in this problem, we have

\lambda=355 nm\\n=1.55

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find \lambda_0, the wavelength in air:

\lambda_0 = n\lambda=(1.55)(355 nm)=550.3 nm

Answer:
They are both wrong!

Liquid oxygen really is a pale blue color.
I’ve seen it.

And they cant say that liquid and solid oxygen is blue which makes the sky blue because they’re not and it doesn’t make up for the color of the sky.

The sky is actually blue because It reflects more light than It can absorb
aka Rayleigh Scattering.

Can a solution be separated by filtration?​
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Filtration is a method for separating an insoluble solid from a liquid. When a mixture of sand and water is filtered: the sand stays behind in the filter paper (it becomes the residue ) the water passes through the filter paper (it becomes the filtrate )
