Snell 's law states that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction is equivalent to the ratio of phase velocities in the two media , or equivalent to the reciprocal of the ratio of the indices of refraction : with each as the angle measured from the normal of the boundary , as the velocity of light in the respective medium ( SI units are meters per second , or m\/s ) and as the refractive index ( which is unitless ) of the respective medium .

The law states that when light passes through different materials ( for example from air to glass ) the ratio of sines of the incidence ( incoming ) angle and the refraction ( outgoing ) angle does not change : with each as the angle measured from the normal of the boundary , as the velocity of light in the respective medium ( SI units are meters per second , or m\/s ) and as the refractive index ( which has no units ) of the medium .


Snell 's law ( also known as the Snell-Descartes law and the law of refraction ) is a formula used to describe the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction , when referring to light or other waves passing through a boundary between two different isotropic media , such as water , glass and air .

Snell 's law is the scientific law of the refraction of light or other waves .


For example , if a key signature has only one sharp , it must be an F sharp .

For example : if there is one sharp in the key signature it will be an F sharp .


Put another way : for key signatures with sharps , the first sharp is placed on F line with subsequent sharps on C , G , D , A , E and B ; for key signatures with flats , the first flat is placed on B with subsequent flats on E , A , D , G , C and F . There are thus 15 conventional key signatures , with up to seven sharps or flats and including the empty signature of C major ( A minor ) .

There are fifteen possible key signatures : up to seven sharps , up to seven flats , or no sharps or flats .


In musical notation , a key signature is a set of sharp or flat symbols placed together on the staff .

A key signature is a group of sharps or flats which are printed at the beginning of a line of music .


Keys which are associated with the same key signature are called relative keys .

Each minor key shares a key signature with one of the major keys .


For example , one sharp ( F ♯ ) in the key signature of a piece in a major key indicates the key of G major , the next note above F ♯ .

For example : a key signature of one sharp is either G major or E minor .


Each major and minor key has an associated key signature that sharpens or flattens the notes which are used in its scale .

Each major key has its own key signature ( the relationship between the keys is explained in the article `` circle of fifths '' .


Thus F major ( D minor ) has one flat which is on the B ; then B ♭ major ( G minor ) has two flats ( on B and E ) and so on .

The reason why there are fifteen and not twelve is because three of them have two possible names : F sharp major ( 6 sharps ) can also be called G flat , C sharp is D flat and B is C flat .

The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League ( French : la Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec , abbreviated QMJHL in English , LHJMQ in French ) is one of the three major junior ice hockey leagues which constitute the Canadian Hockey League .

The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League ( French : la Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec , shortened as QMJHL in English , LHJMQ in French ) is one of the three major junior ice hockey leagues which make up the Canadian Hockey League .


The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League was founded in 1969 , through the merger of best teams from the existing Quebec Junior Hockey League and the Metropolitan Montreal Junior Hockey League , declaring themselves a `` major junior '' league .

The QMJHL was created in 1969 from two different junior leagues in Quebec , the Quebec Junior Hockey League and the Metropolitan Montreal Junior Hockey League .


Its teams are based in the Canadian provinces of Quebec , Nova Scotia , New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island and it draws players from these regions as well as Newfoundland and the New England States ( though the Quebec league has had more trouble recruiting Americans than either of its sister leagues ) .

There are 18 teams in the QMJHL that are in Quebec , New Brunswick , Nova Scotia , and Prince Edward Island in Canada , and Maine in the United States .


Of the original eleven QMJHL teams , eight came from the QJHL , two from the MMJHL , and the Cornwall Royals , from Cornwall , Ontario , near the Quebec border , who transferred from in the Central Junior A Hockey League .

Eight teams were from the QJHL and two from the MMJHL and another team came from a town in Ontario on the Ontario-Quebec border .

The earliest animal-pollinated flowers were pollinated by insects such as beetles , so the syndrome of insect pollination was well established before bees first appeared .

The earliest animal-pollinated flowers were pollinated by insects such as beetles , long before bees first appeared .


Some bees are eusocial insects ; this means they live in organized groups called colonies .


The novelty is that bees are specialized as pollination agents , with behavioral and physical modifications that specifically enhance pollination , and are generally more efficient at the task than any other pollinating insect such as beetles , flies , butterflies and pollen wasps .

Bees are generally better at the task than other pollinating insects such as beetles , flies , butterflies and pollen wasps .


This system is also seen in honey bees and some bumblebees .

Lamps that emit shortwave UV light are also made .

An ultraviolet lamp is one that emits mostly ultraviolet light .


UV light has a shorter wavelength than violet light .

The only difference between violet light and ultraviolet light is the wavelength ( or the frequency ) .


However , the entire spectrum of ultraviolet radiation has some of the biological features of ionizing radiation : It does far more damage to many molecules in biological systems than is accounted for by simple heating effects ( an example is sunburn ) .

Ultraviolet light is a type of ionizing radiation .


A small amount of the shorter wavelength ultraviolet reaches the surface , which causes sunburn , long-term skin damage , and skin cancer .

Use of tanning devices can cause skin cancer because ultraviolet goes through the skin and causes destruction to cells , causing sunburn .
