Answer:

<em>The wavelength of water = 571.43 nm</em>

Explanation:

Refractive index of water = wave length of light in air/wave length of light in water

R.d = λ₁/λ₂.................. Equation 1

making λ₂ the subject of equation 1

λ₂ = λ₁/R.d...................... Equation 2

R.d = refractive index of water , λ₁ = wave length of light in air, λ₂ = wave length of light in water

<em>Given: R.d = 1.33, λ₁ = 760nm</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2</em>

λ₂  = 760/1.33

<em>λ₂  = 571.43 nm</em>

<em>Therefore the wavelength of water = 571.43 nm</em>

Which feature of a heating curve indicates a change of state?
Andreas93 [3]
A "heating curve" is a graph that shows the temperature of the substance
against the amount of heat you put into it.

For most of the graph, as you'd expect, the temperature goes up as you
add heat, and it goes down as you take heat away.  BUT ... While the
substance is changing state, its temperature doesn't change even though
you're putting heat in or taking heat out.

So that part of the graph is a horizontal line.

Why do temperatures on the moons surface vary ncyb more than temperatures on earth
ollegr [7]

Answer:

The moon has no atmosphere

Explanation:

The temperatures on the surface of the Moon vary much more than those on Earth because the moon has no atmosphere (third answer in the list), and therefore there are no molecules that could retain residual heat and make the change from day to night a softer transition.
