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

1.61

Explanation:

According to Oxford dictionary, refractive index is, ''the ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to its velocity in a specified medium.''

If the clear transparent solid disappears when dipped into the liquid, it means that the index of refraction of the solid and liquid are equal.

Hence, when a transparent solid is immersed in a liquid having the same refractive index, there is no refraction at the boundary between the two media. As long as there is no refraction between the two media, the solid can not be seen because the solid and liquid will appear to the eye as one material.

this is poiselle's equation from fluid mechanic in physics. mech eng

answer;

d. are made mostly of liquid

explanation;

-the general   composition and structure planets includes; they have a thick gas and liquid layer covering a small,solid core. mostly the gases are hydrogen and helium atmosphere and layers of liquid hydrogen. for instance neptune and uranus are examples of the outer planets, they have a core covered by ice and ammonia.

-neptune's atmosphere is hydrogen and helium with a bit of methane so there is no oxygen to breath and the interior is made up of frozen water and ammonia with a rock and iron core. thus, there is no liquid water or solid surface to survive.
