Refractometry is an analytical method based on the difference between the speed of light as it travels through a substance (v) and its speed in a vacuum (c). In the procedure, light of a known wavelength passes through a fixed thickness of the substance at a known temperature. The index of refraction equals c/v. Using yellow light (2 = 589 nm) at 20°C, for example, the index of refraction of water is 1.33, and that of diamond is 2.42. Enter your answers in scientific notation. (a) Calculate the speed of light in water: x 10 |(select) m/s (b) Calculate the speed of light in diamond: × 10 (select) m/s

The maximum in the blackbody radiation intensity curve moves to shorter wavelength as temperature increases. The German physicist Wilhelm Wien demonstrated the relation to be max1/T . Later, Planck’s equation showed the maximum to be max=0.20hc/kt . In 1965, scientists researching problems in telecommunication discovered “background radiation” with maximum wavelength 1.05 mm (microwave region of the EM spectrum) throughout space. Estimate the temperature of space.
