How do you clean the refractometer?

To clean a refractometer, first wipe the prism with a soft cloth to remove any residue. Then, use a cleaning solution specifically designed for refractometers to gently clean the prism. Finally, rinse the prism with distilled water and dry it with a soft cloth before storing it in its case.


What do the different colours if the prism come from?

The different colors of light are separated by a prism due to a process called dispersion. This is because each color of light has a different wavelength, causing them to bend at slightly different angles as they pass through the prism, resulting in the splitting of white light into its constituent colors.


How can you separate rainbow colors individually as from a mixture?

To separate rainbow colors individually, you can use a prism or a diffraction grating. When white light passes through a prism or a diffraction grating, the different wavelengths of light (colors) are refracted at different angles, causing them to separate. This results in the dispersion of light into its constituent colors of the rainbow.


What are the properties of sinc function?

The sinc function is defined as sin(x)/x, where x is a real number. It is an even function, meaning sinc(x) = sinc(-x), and its value approaches 1 as x approaches 0. The sinc function is commonly used in signal processing and Fourier analysis.


What color tube is used for Platelet function studies?

Platelet function studies are typically collected in a blue-top tube (sodium citrate) to prevent clotting and maintain the function of platelets for analysis.

Does prism gets heated?

Yes, no material allows 100% transmission of light. In fact, the resistance of the passage of light is what allows a prism to refract. A prism made of a theoretical 100% light trasmitter would not function as a prism regardless of its shape.


What does passing sunlight through a prism do?

Color is a direct function of light by passing sunlight through a prism and observing the bands of spectrum of colors was discovered by Isaac Newton. It was discovered in the 1660's.


What is the function of prism?
