Question
Answer
components of glass   Sand,Lime,Soda  
🗑
The major component of glass known as silicon dioxide is   Sand  
🗑
Ingredient in glass helps prevent glass from dissolving in water   Lime  
🗑
Ingredient helps lower the melting point of glass   Soda  
🗑
Float glass is one type of this glass that is cooled on top a bath of molten tin   soda-lime glass  
🗑
Glass through which strength is added by introducing stress through rapid heating and cooling   tempered glass  
🗑
Front windshields of cars are made with this type of glass   laminated glass  
🗑
Most windows and bottles are made from this type of glass   soda-lime glass  
🗑
Automobile headlights and heat resistant glass like pyrex are this type of glass   borosilicate glass  
🗑
Glass that breaks into dices or small squares but does not “shatter” into sharp shards   tempered glass  
🗑
The interlayer of this type of glass keeps the layers of glass bonded even when broken, and its high strength prevents the glass from breaking up into large sharp pieces   laminated glass  
🗑
This type of glass is primarily used on back and side windows of cars   tempered glass  
🗑
Two sheets of glass are bonded together with a plastic film   laminated glass  
🗑
Which of the following is the least reliable when analyzing glass from a crime scene   putting the glass back together  
🗑
The calculation of density for a piece of glass   mass/volume  
🗑
This method is used when glass fragments found at the crime scene are small and the refractive index needs to be found   Submersion method  
🗑
A halo-like effect appearing at the edges of a glass fragment when the reflective index of the glass and liquid are different.   Becke line  
🗑
A measure of the degree to which the glass bends light when the light moves from one medium to another is known as the   Refractive index  
🗑
Glass typically will not break into regular pieces with straight line fractures because it is considered this type of solid   Amorphous solid  
🗑
This provides clues about the direction, rate, and sequence of impacts on glass   Fracture lines  
🗑
These types of fractures occur outward like a spoke of a wheel   Radial  
🗑
These types of fractures form rough circles around point of impact   Concentric  
🗑
These fractures form on the same side of the impact   Concentric  
🗑
These fractures break in the glass outward on the opposite side from the point of impact   Radial  
🗑
A key point about soil when it comes to analyzing it in relation to color is this   it must be dry  
🗑
Major types of soil   clay, clayloam, loam, sand  
🗑
Soil must vary at a maximum at this interval from the scene of the crime to be considered unique to that area   100 yards  
🗑
Number of minerals commonly found in most types of soil   20-40  
🗑
Number of distinguishable soil colors are there   1100  
🗑
Projectile hole is inevitably wider on which side   point of exit  
🗑
Is it possible to identify the size of the penetrating bullet by examining a bullet hole in an un-shattered pain of glass   No  
🗑
Is it impossible to identify the direction of the bullet by examining a bullet hole in an un-shattered pain of glass   No  
🗑
When an object begins to penetrate a pain of glass these fractures are the first to form   radial fractures  
🗑
Radial fracture lines form on the surface ________________ of the penetrating force.   opposite  
🗑
These form on the same surface of the penetrating force   Concentric fracture lines  
🗑
Does tempered glass easily show radial and concentric circles?   no  
🗑
This is the easiest way to identify most soils   side by side comparison  
🗑
Often times when comparing soils this can be an important part of the soil   Artificial material  
🗑
These form at right angles on the reverse side:   radial fractures  
🗑
Radial fractures for m these on the reverse side   right angles  
🗑
Radial fractures form right angles on this side   reverse side  
🗑
Does a fracture terminate at an existing line of fracture?   Yes  
🗑
Soil is best and easily compared when it has this physical property   dry  
🗑
How many minerals exist that could potentially show up in a soil   2200  
🗑
Naturally occurring crystals found in soil are called   minerals.  
🗑
Maximum distance from the crime scene that soil can still be the same –it must vary after this distance   100 yards  
🗑
There range of common minerals that geologist will encounter during soil examination   20-40  
🗑
How many types of distinguishable soil colors   1100  
🗑
Exposure of soil to this may reveal the presence of plant or animal materials or man-made debris   ultra-violet light  
🗑
In order to detect smaller particular minerals and synthetic materials in the soil this type of examination must occur   microscopy  
🗑
Using density gradient tubes to identify soil determines this about the soil   density  
🗑
Part of soil that must be collected from crime scence:-   top soil  
🗑
type of borosilicate used in bakeware   pyrex  
🗑
Point when the becke line disappears.   match point  
🗑
To determine that a gun was used to penetrate glass versus a blunt object this must be present   gun powder residue  
🗑
