A weather balloon measures a temperature of 11°C and a mixing ratio of 12.5 g kg^-1 at 850 hPa. Twenty-four hours later, the passage of a dryline has left the same location with the same temperature but a mixing ratio of 6 g kg^-1. What is the change in the density of the air during this period? You may assume an ideal gas.

Texas rancher wants to fence off his four-sided plot of flat land. He measures the first three sides, shown as A, B, and C in the figure below, where
A = 4.15 km
and
?C = 23°.
He then correctly calculates the length in kilometers and orientation in degrees west of south of the fourth side D. What is his result in kilometers and degrees west of south?
A= 4.15km corresponding degrees is 7.5
B= 2.48 and corresponding degrees is 16
C= 3.02 km and degrees is 23

a) What is the minimum index of refraction of a clear material if a minimum thickness of 122 nm , when laid on glass, is needed to reduce reflection to nearly zero when light of 675 nm is incident normally upon it? Assume that the film has an index less than that of the glass.
I got nmin=2.76 and it is saying incorrect.. used the equation 2t=m λn not sure what I am doing wrong
b) What is the main index of refraction of the material if the film has an idea greater than that of the glass?

An alpha particle is a nucleus of helium. It has twice the charge and four times the mass of the proton. When they were very far away from each other, but headed toward directly each other, a proton and an alpha particle each had an initial speed of 4.1×10-3 c, where c is the speed of light. What is their distance of closest approach? There are two conserved quantities. Make use of both of them. (c = 3.00 × 10^8 m/s, k = 1/4πε 0 = 8.99 × 10^9 N · m2/C2, e = 1.60 × 10^-19 C, m proton = 1.67 x 10^-27 kg)
