Air, refractive index

The goal of the polychromatic LGS (PEGS) is to provide us with a 100% sky coverage, down to visible wavelengths. Its basic principle relies on the chromatic property of the air refraction index n (Fig. 18). 

If a laser beam produces in the outer atmosphere a spectrum spanning from the ultraviolet to at least the red, then the return light will follow different optical paths depending on the wavelength (Fig. 19). The air refraction index is a function of air temperature T and pressure P ... 

Hydrochloric acid is a colorless to yellowish liquid (the yellow coloration may be due to traces of iron, chlorine or organics contaminants) fumes in air refractive index of 1.0 N solution 1.3417 density of commercial concentrated acid (37.8 g/lOOg solution) 1.19 g/mL, and constant boiling solution (20.22 g/lOOg solution) 1.096 g/mL at 25°C forms a constant boiling azeotrope with water at HCl concentration 20.22% the azeotrope boils at 108.6°C several metal chlorides can be salted out of their aqueous solutions by addition of HCl the addition of CaCL can break the azeotrope the pH of the acid at 1.0, 0.1 and 0.01 N concentrations are 0.10, 1.1, and 2.02, respectively a 10.0 M solution ionizes to 92.6% at 18°C.

Pockets of air (refractive index = 1.0) encapsulated in plastic are also used as light-scattering pigments. The size of these synthetic pigments range from 0,6 to 20 micrometers, depending upon the number of 0.5-micrometer bubbles per particle. 

When a beam of light travelling in air, refractive index n0 = 1, passes through a glass plate, refractive index 2, a part of the incident light will be reflected on the front and rear surfaces, as shown schematically in Fig.2a. The reflectance R of a glass/air interface, defined as the ratio of the reflected intensity to the incident intensity, is a function of the difference in the refractive indices of the media and may be expressed for normal incidence as ...

We are now in a position to calculate the reflections from multiple mterfaces using the simple example of a thin film of material of thickness d with refractive index n.2 sandwiched between a material of refractive index (where this is generally air witii n = ) deposited onto a substrate of refractive index [35, 36], This is depicted in figure Bl.26.9. The resulting reflectivities for p- and s-polarized light respectively are given by ... 

In the flask were placed 10.0 g of the propargylic amine (see Chapter lIII-5, Exp. 1). The air in the flask was replaced with nitrogen and a solution of 0.01 mol of KO-tert.-Ci,H,3 in 10 g of THF (free from hydroperoxide) was added. The mixture was warmed at about 40 C. A weakly exothermic reaction was observed and the temperature rose to about 45°C. After 1-2 min the gel originally present, had disappeared almost completely and a brown solution had formed. The refractive index of the solution (note 1) was measured after intervals of about 2 min. After the...

For an air/glass interface, tan 0b = n, the refractive index of glass. In a gas laser, the light must be reflected back and forth between mirrors and through the gas container hundreds of times. Each time the beam passes through the cavity, it must pass through transparent windows at the ends of the gas container (Figure 18.10b), and it is clearly important that this transmission be as efficient as possible. 

The physical constants of furfuryl alcohol are Hsted in Table 1. When exposed to heat, acid or air the density and refractive index of furfuryl alcohol changes owing to chemical reaction (51), and the rate of change in these properties is a function of temperature and time of exposure. 

In general, textile fibers should be optically opaque so that their refractive indexes need to be significantly different from those of their most common environments, namely, air and water. Luster and color are two optical properties that relate to a fiber s aesthetic quatity and consumer acceptance. 

When the voltage force and source of water are removed, most of the injected water diffuses away and evaporates, and the tree disappears. This disappearance indicates that channels or paths close up, because if they did not, their appearance would be enhanced rather than diminished when the water is replaced by air which has a greater refractive index difference with respect to polyethylene. 

Methylene iodide [75-11-6], CH2I2, also known as diio dome thane, mol wt 267.87, 94.76% I, mp 6.0°C, and bp 181°C, is a very heavy colorless Hquid. It has a density of 3.325 g/mL at 20°C and a refractive index of 1.7538 at 4°C. It darkens in contact with air, moisture, and light. Its solubiHty in water is 1.42 g/100 g H2O at 20°C it is soluble in alcohol, chloroform, ben2ene, and ether. Methylene iodide is prepared by reaction of sodium arsenite and iodoform with sodium hydroxide reaction of iodine, sodium ethoxide, and hydroiodic acid on iodoform the oxidation of iodoacetic acid with potassium persulfate and by reaction of potassium iodide and methylene chloride (124,125). Diiodoform is used for determining the density and refractive index of minerals. It is also used as a starting material in the manufacture of x-ray contrast media and other synthetic pharmaceuticals (qv). 

The pyrrolines or dihydropyrroles can exist in three isomeric forms 1-pyrroline (3,4-dihyro-2JT-pyrrole [5724-81-2]) (16) is an unstable material that resiniftes upon exposure to air 2-pyrroline (2,3-dihydro-lJT-pyrrole [638-31-3]) (17) is even more unstable only 3-pyrroline (2,5-dihydro-lJT-pyrrole [109-96-6]) (18) is reasonably stable. 3-Pyrroline bods at 91°C and has a density of 0.9097 g/cm and a refractive index of 1.4664.
