Answer:
Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56
Explanation:
Using Snell's law as:
Where,
is the angle of incidence ( 65.0° )
is the angle of refraction ( 53.0° )
is the refractive index of the refraction medium (unknown liquid, n=?)
is the refractive index of the incidence medium (oil, n=1.38)
Hence,
Solving for
,
Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56
Through spectroscopy. Each atom in a gas absorbs and emits light at very specific and unique frequencies. Heating up a gas causes it to glow at these frequencies. If you put the light from a mercury lamp, for example, through a prism there will not be a rainbow. There will only be specific bands of light at certain colors.
On the other hand, white light comes from the sun. The inner part of the sun creates white light as it isn't just a gas state (this specific choosing of frequencies is a gaseous phenomenon) but the atmosphere of the sun is a gas. So when the white light passes through it, it absorbs specific frequencies specific to the elements in the gas. These get scattered (released at random directions) and so many of them don't reach our telescopes. So in a rainbow from stars (including the sun) have dark bands at specific frequencies. You need equipment to focus and see the spectrum closely to notice this. But the missing frequencies are the EXACT frequencies that the gas of the sun's atmosphere would release if heated in a lamp.
So based on what light is emitted (in gas bulbs) or missing from a spectrum (from stars) we can tell what elements are present there.
Answer:
About 7.5 years
Explanation:
The orbital period is proportional to the semimajor axis raised to the power of 3/2.
The orbital period is <em>also</em> inversely proportional to the square root of the sum of the masses of the sun and the asteroid; however, the sun's mass is a constant and the asteroid's mass is negligible in comparison with the sun's mass.
Convection is the right answer!!!
