    Index of refraction, n D: 1.000449 at 589.3 nm and 0 °C [1] Dielectric constant, ε r: 1.60 ε 0 at 0 °C, 50 atm Average energy per C=O bond 804.4 kJ/mol at 298 K (25 °C) [2] Bond length: C=O 116.21 pm (1.1621 Å) [3] Bond angle: O–C–O: 180° , [3] decreasing to as low as 163° at higher temperature and/or pressure [4] Magnetic ...

  3. Carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide

    The symmetry of a carbon dioxide molecule is linear and centrosymmetric at its equilibrium geometry. The length of the carbon–oxygen bond in carbon dioxide is 116.3 pm, noticeably shorter than the roughly 140 pm length of a typical single C–O bond, and shorter than most other C–O multiply bonded functional groups such as carbonyls. [19]

  4. Atmospheric refraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_refraction

    Diagram showing displacement of the Sun's image at sunrise and sunset Comparison of inferior and superior mirages due to differing air refractive indices, n. Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. [1]

  5. List of refractive indices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_refractive_indices

    Refraction at interface. Many materials have a well-characterized refractive index, but these indices often depend strongly upon the frequency of light, causing optical dispersion. Standard refractive index measurements are taken at the "yellow doublet" sodium D line, with a wavelength (λ) of 589 nanometers.

  6. Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_reduction...

    The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide, also known as CO2RR, is the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO 2) to more reduced chemical species using electrical energy. It represents one potential step in the broad scheme of carbon capture and utilization.

  7. Atmospheric optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_optics

    A spectacular form of refraction, called the Fata Morgana, occurs with a temperature inversion, in which objects on the horizon or even beyond the horizon (e.g. islands, cliffs, ships, and icebergs) appear elongated and elevated, like "fairy tale castles". [4] Rainbows. These result from a combination of internal reflection and dispersive ...

  8. Schlieren photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlieren_photography

    Refractive index gradients can be caused either by changes of temperature/pressure of the same fluid or by the variations of the concentration of components in mixtures and solutions. A typical application in gas dynamics is the study of shock waves in ballistics and supersonic or hypersonic vehicles.

  9. Boudouard reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudouard_reaction

    The Boudouard reaction, named after Octave Leopold Boudouard, is the redox reaction of a chemical equilibrium mixture of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide at a given temperature.
