A solid piece of clear transparent materialhas an index of refraction of 1.61. If you place itinto a clear transparentsolution and it seems to disappear, approximately what is the index of refraction of the solution

The index of refraction of a solution is 1.61

Explanation:

Refractive index or index of refraction is defined as the measure of bending of light when passed through a medium. It is simply the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in the phase.

We are given:

Index of refraction of a material = 1.61

When the material is put in a solution, it disappears. This means that there is no bending of light to distinguish between the two phases (material and solution). Thus, the refractive index of the solution is equal to the refractive index of the material.

Index of refraction of a solution = Index of refraction of a material = 1.61

Hence, the index of refraction of a solution is 1.61

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
