Answer:

Luster

Explanation:

Luster is how the surface of a mineral reflects light. It is not the same thing as color, so it crucial to distinguish luster from color. For example, a mineral described as “shiny yellow” is being described in terms of luster (“shiny”) and color (“yellow”), which are two different physical properties.

A light strikes the boundary of a medium at a 45 degree angle. Instead of entering the second medium, the light reflects back in
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

D It must be equal to 1.00

Explanation:

The refraction in the second medium must be equal to 1. The refraction index is given as the ration of the angle of incidence to the angle of refraction. This is given as a fraction. In other words:

\frac{sin\theta _{i} }{sin\theta _{r} }  = n

where Θ₁ and Θ₂ are angles of incidence an refraction, and n is the refractive index.

At a critical angle, the refraction is equal to the reflection inside the medium. This results in a phenomenon called total internal reflection where light is reflected internally in the medium.

Describe a covalent bond?
Natasha2012 [34]
A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs, and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent bonding.
