Refractive Index of Various Lenses Lab Activity

Refractive Index of Various Lenses Lab Activity

November 22, 2022 0 comments

Refraction Definition and Background Refraction is another behavior that light exhibits as it interacts with different media. It is simply defined as the bending of light due to its change in speed as it strikes on different materials with various densities. The extent of refraction of light is dependent on the medium’s refractive index. Every […]

Complete and Incomplete Combustion

Complete and Incomplete Combustion

October 21, 2022 0 comments

The Products of Combustion When fuels react with oxygen in the air, they burn and release large amounts of energy in the form of heat and light. The amount oxygen available affects whether a fuel will undergo complete or incomplete combustion. For a fuel to undergo complete combustion, plenty of oxygen must be present in […]
