Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite

ACTIVITY SERIES The activity series of metals is an list of metals ranked in order of decreasing reactivity to displace hydrogen gas from water and acid solutions. It can also be used to predict which metals will displace other metals in aqueous solutions. In introductory chemistry‚ the reactivity series or activity series is an empirical series of metals‚ in order of "reactivity" from highest to lowest. It is used to summarize information about the reactions of metals with acids and water‚ single

Evaluation of antidiabetic and antimicrobial activity of jasminum grandiflorum leaves INTRODUTION 1.1. The pancreas and insulin formation The pancreas is an elongated organ situated next to the first part of the small intestine. It is both an endocrine gland that produces hormones‚ such as insulin and glucagon‚ and an exocrine gland producing digestive enzymes‚ such as trypsin and chymotrypsin (Martini‚ 2004). It is located behind the stomach‚ between the spleen and the duodenum (see Figure

THE DEGREE OF RISK REDUCTION IN DIVERSIFICATION According to Roberts (2004‚ p214)‚ diversification is when several businesses are combined under one ownership for the singular aim of reducing risk. The combination of all the businesses is less risky than individual businesses standing alone. According to Chandler (1959)‚ there are three types of diversification: 1. Full line – company manufacture‚ market and control supplies of its single line of product‚ that is‚ the company has manufacture
