Hey!

The reason it seems to disappear is because of the refraction and absorption of light and colour. When light enters the colourless liquid, colour is obviously absorbed. The light waves refract ("bounce") off the glass test tube and leave the glass beaker (containing the colourless liquid). Because the liquid and solid are the same colour, it creates the illusion of the test tube disappearing.

What liquid is not wet?

The "wetting" that happens when an object is immersed in a liquid depends on the surface energy of the object and the capilary forces in action on the surface of the liquid. for example mercury will not "wet" glass but water can wet the same glass.


What is the Nature of a convex lens immersed in a liquid with a refractive index same as of glass?

The "nature" of it is the same as if it weren't immersed. However, if it has the same refractive index as the material it's immersed in, it will no longer have any discernable effect on the refraction of light; from the outside it will appear to just be another part of the liquid (it may well disappear from sight, since it's no longer visually distinguishable from the liquid itself).

What was Galileo's most famous inventions?

Galileo developed the thermoscope to measure hot and cold during the Paduan period. Galileo would use a glass bottle about the size of an egg, with a long glass neck. He then heated the bottle with his hands and then immersed it partially in a vessel full of liquid. When he removed his hands, the liquid rose to a certain height in the neck, remaining above the liquid in the vessel.

A solid glass has a weight of 21lb in air and an apparent weight of 14 lb when immersed in turpentine.When immersed in water its apparent weight is 11.6 lb.Calculate the specific gravity of the glass.?

immersed is a phychilogical experience when one object is held up by a fluid or gas. If you use the old nogan, and use the experiment wisely, and calculate the volume or gas+liquid you'll get an anser of 1.23575882810 I did it in gr.3 passed grade kindergarten, 1, 2, ,3 ,4 ,5 ,6, ,7, ,8 and made it to high school.

Liquid glass has more thermal energy because it's really hot. A normal glass bowl isn't as hot as liquid glass.
