Q

is a measurement of mass and volume

A

Density

17
Q

meaning it remains the same regardless of the size of the object

A

intensive property

18
Q

The ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to its speed in any medium determines the

A

refractive index

19
Q

made stronger by rapid heating and cooling. This make it break into dice (small square) used for windshields

A

Tempered glass -

20
Q

(stronger because it makes one layer of plastic in between two pieces of glass)

A

Laminated glass

21
Q

Glass is most important when it can be linked via

A

individualization

22
Q

how can glass be pieced back together

A

This requires the physical piecining of irregular edges of broken glass as well as matching all irregularities and striations on the broken surface

23
Q

comparing a standard known glass chip to a mixture of liquids (bromoform or bromobenzene) the composition is changed until the known glass particle is suspended.

A

Flotation

24
Q

individualization is only possible with….

A

elemental analysis,
