Answer;

A smooth, polished surface.

Explanation;

-Reflection is the bouncing back of light when it hits a surface or a boundary. Therefore, when light rays are hits or are incident on a smooth, flat surface, they bounce or reflect away from the surface at the same angle as they arrive.

-Thus, from the law of reflection the angle of incident will be equal to the angle of reflection.

-The best surfaces for reflecting light are very smooth, such as a glass mirror or polished metal surfaces.

In the flame test, barium ions produce a green flame whereas calcium ions produce a red flame. In your own words, explain these
deff fn [24]

Answer:

The Barium flame is green because it is a difficult flame to excite, therefore for it to trigger a flame it is necessary that it be too excited for it to occur.

The reddish color of calcium is due to its high volatility and it is sometimes very difficult to differentiate it from strontium.the compression of these elements is due to being able to make them work during combustion

Explanation:

The flame test is a widely used qualitative analysis method to identify the presence of a certain chemical element in a sample. To carry it out you must have a gas burner. Usually a Bunsen burner, since the temperature of the flame is high enough to carry out the experience (a wick burner with an alcohol tank is not useful). The flame temperature of the Bunsen burner must first be adjusted until it is no longer yellowish and has a bluish hue to the body of the flame and a colorless envelope. Then the tip of a clean platinum or nichrome rod (an alloy of nickel and chromium), or failing that of glass, is impregnated with a small amount of the substance to be analyzed and, subsequently, the rod is introduced into the flame, trying to locate the tip in the least colored part of the flame.

The electrons in these will jump to higher levels from the lower levels and immediately (the time that an electron can be in higher levels is of the order of nanoseconds), they will emit energy in all directions in the form of electromagnetic radiation (light) of frequencies characteristics. This is what is called an atomic emission spectrum.

At a macroscopic level, it is observed that the sample, when heated in the flame, will provide a characteristic color to it. For example, if the tip of a rod is impregnated with a drop of Ca2 + solution (the previous notation indicates that it is the calcium ion, that is, the calcium atom that has lost two electrons), the color observed is brick red .

Your classmate is viewing a sample using high power and is about to refocus using the coarse adjustment knob. What would you rec
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Using the coarse adjustment knob of the microscope in high power may lead to the breaking of the slide if adjusted and raised the slide too much which can damage the sample as well as the high power lens.

In this case, I would recommend using the fine adjustment knob and moving away from the end of the viewing area of the microscope so there would no collision take place. The fine adjustment will help to get a clear image.
