When immersed in oil, glass becomes nearly invisible due to a phenomenon called "refractive index matching." This occurs because the refractive index of glass closely matches that of oil, leading to minimal light reflection or refraction at the glass-oil interface. As a result, the glass appears to disappear when submerged in oil, making it difficult to see with the naked eye.

What happens when a drop of oil is stirred into a glass of water?

The oil will initially float on the surface of the water due to differences in density. Over time, the oil droplet may break into smaller droplets due to agitation, eventually dispersing throughout the water. However, oil and water do not mix because they are immiscible, so the oil droplets will not dissolve in the water.


Which substances is soluble in water sand sugar oil glass?

Well- sand drops to the bottom, so insoluble. Sugar dissolves in water- warm water dissolves it quicker (coffee, tea), oil sits in layer on the top so does not dissolve. Glass- well luckily glass is insoluble in water so coke and stuff like that can be contained in glass bottles. A purist who measures solubility in atoms or molecules per litre would argue that that all of the insoluble substances dissolve too some extent.


Why does hot oil break glass and not hot water?

The boiling point of oil is higher than water and absorbs more heat .When hot oil is poured in a glass container the heat is conducted through the cold glass which expands and breaks while in hot water the heat energy absorbed is less and the glass heat is dissipated slowly to avoid sudden expansion.


A plastic disks density is less than water but greater than oil if you put all three together in a glass container where would you see the plastic disk?

The plastic disk would float on top of the water but sink below the layer of oil in the glass container. This is because the density of the plastic disk is in between that of water and oil.

Does oil has the same refractive index as glass?

No, oil does not have the same refractive index as glass. Glass typically has a higher refractive index than most oils. This difference in refractive index is what causes light to bend or change direction when it passes from one medium (like oil) to another (like glass).


Why most people who eat chili and drink water the hotness didn't disappear but when most people who drink milk the hotness disappear they don't feel the hotness?

because we say that the oil cannot be mix with water, The chili has CAPSAICIN that produce oil the one that can stopped the oil in our mouth is MILK or BREAD because its absorbs the oil to our mouth ..
