 Solution

True. Choose the irrational number $\alpha =\sqrt{2}$, and partition the rational numbers intoNo endpoint is rational, so these disjoint sets cover $\mathbb{Q}$. Each is nonempty by the density of the rational numbers, and each is clopen in the subspace topology on $\mathbb{Q}$.

Let two rational numbers be equivalent exactly when they belong to the same $C_n$. The bijectionis well-defined. For every subset $B\subseteq \mathbb{Z}$, the preimage of $h^{-1}(B)$ under the canonical projection of a quotient set is ${\bigcup }_{n\in B}{C}_n$, which is open in $\mathbb{Q}$. Thus every subset of $\mathbb{Q}/\sim$ is open: its quotient topology is the discrete topology. The usual subspace topology on the integers is also the discrete topology, because $\{n\}=\mathbb{Z}\cap (n-1/2,n+1/2)$. Consequently $h$ is a homeomorphism.
