  2. Optical phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_phenomenon

    Optical phenomena are any observable events that result from the interaction of light and matter. All optical phenomena coincide with quantum phenomena. [1] Common optical phenomena are often due to the interaction of light from the Sun or Moon with the atmosphere, clouds, water, dust, and other particulates.

  3. Dark energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_energy

    Under this scenario, dark energy would ultimately tear apart all gravitationally bound structures, including galaxies and solar systems, and eventually overcome the electrical and nuclear forces to tear apart atoms themselves, ending the universe in a "Big Rip". On the other hand, dark energy might dissipate with time or even become attractive.

  4. Tears - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tears

    Tears are a clear liquid secreted by the lacrimal glands (tear gland) found in the eyes of all land mammals. [1] Tears are made up of water, electrolytes, proteins, lipids, and mucins that form layers on the surface of eyes. [2] The different types of tears—basal, reflex, and emotional—vary significantly in composition. [2]

    Accordingly, deeper water hyperiids, where the light against which the silhouettes must be compared is dimmer, have larger "upper-eyes", and may lose the lower portion of their eyes altogether. [40] In the giant Antarctic isopod Glyptonotus a small ventral compound eye is physically completely separated from the much larger dorsal compound eye ...

    The emitted light and the reflected light combine and may be considerably more visible than the original light. The most visible frequencies are also those most rapidly attenuated in water, so the effect is for greatly increased colour contrast over a short range, until the longer wavelengths are attenuated by the water.

    n November 1954, 29-year-old Sammy Davis Jr. was driving to Hollywood when a car crash left his eye mangled beyond repair. Doubting his potential as a one-eyed entertainer, the burgeoning performer sought a solution at the same venerable institution where other misfortunate starlets had gone to fill their vacant sockets: Mager & Gougelman, a family-owned business in New York City that has ...

    The verdict when it comes to if Gatorade is hydrating is this: It absolutely does hydrate the body and can even do so more effectively than water. But that doesn’t mean you should drink it ...

  9. Optical properties of water and ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_properties_of...

    The refractive index of water at 20 °C for visible light is 1.33. [1] The refractive index of normal ice is 1.31 (from List of refractive indices).In general, an index of refraction is a complex number with real and imaginary parts, where the latter indicates the strength of absorption loss at a particular wavelength.
