Reef Chemistry Question of the Day #5
When using a refractometer to measure the salinity of seawater, what is the basic principle involved in the measurement?
A. The change in the ability of electrical charge to move through the water due to the presence of ions.
B. The change in the speed of light moving through the water due to interaction with the ions.
C. The absorption of some wavelengths of light due to the presence of ions.
D. The interaction of ions with the glass in the prism.
Good luck!
I'll make a little white space here so the first response is not so distracting.
