Amixture of red and violet light is incident on a glass-air interface, as the drawing shows. the indices of refraction for red and violet light in glass are nred = 1.520 and nviolet = 1.538. what color(s) of light enters the air?

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
