Difference Between Chemical and Physical Weathering.

Weathering processes crack, wear away, and weaken rocks.

While physical weathering breaks down a rock's physical structure, chemical weathering alters a rock's chemical composition.

Which will NOT occur when a light tray ray interacts with a smooth pane of glass?

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

B) diffraction

Explanation:

A smooth pane of glass does not diffract light. A light passing through a smooth pane of glass may be absorbed, reflected or transmitted.

Diffraction only occurs with special types of glasses embedded with a diffraction grating and are called super prisms. Diffraction glasses use a a gradient lens which is able to separate light into all the colors of the rainbow.

Recall that diffraction is the separation of white light into its component wavelengths.

What is the affect of increasing the water's mass?how does it reflect it's temperature?

Nikolay [14]

I assume what you're asking about is, how does the temperature changes when we increase water's mass, according the formula for heat ?
Well the formula is : $Q=m\cdot c\cdot \Delta t$ (where Q is heat, m is mass, c is specific heat and $\Delta t$ is change in temperature. So according this formula, increasing mass will increase the substance's heat, but won't effect it's temperature since they are not related. Unless, if you want to keep the substance's heat constant, in that case when you increase it's mass you will have to decrease the temperature
