Does dispersive power of the material of a prism depends upon the shape, size and angle of prism? Explain.

The dispersive power of the material of the prism is independent of the shape, angle of prism or size of the prism. It depends only on the refractive index {(\mu)} of the material of the prism.

A car travels due east with a speed of 38.0 km/h. Raindrops are falling at a constant speed vertically with respect to the Earth
DiKsa [7]

Answer: 116.926 km/h

Explanation:

To solve this we need to analise the relation between the car and the Raindrops. The cars moves on the horizontal plane with a constant velocity.

Car's Velocity (Vc) = 38 km/h

The rain is falling perpedincular to the horizontal on the Y-axis. We dont know the velocity.

However, the rain's traces on the side windows makes an angle of 72.0° degrees. ∅ = 72°

There is a relation between this angle and the two velocities. If the car was on rest, we will see that the angle is equal to 90° because the rain is falling perpendicular. In the other end, a static object next to a moving car shows a horizontal trace, so we can use a trigonometric relation on this case.

The following equation can be use to relate the angle and the two vectors.

Tangent (∅) = Opposite (o) / adjacent (a)

Where the Opposite will be the Rain's Vector that define its velocity and the adjacent will be the Car's Velocity Vector.

Tan(72°) = Rain's Velocity / Car's Velocity

We can searching for the Rain's Velocity

Tan(72°) * Vc = Rain's Velocity

Rain's Velocity = 116.926 km/h

A radioactive isotope has a half-life of 5,000 years. A rock originally contained 16 grams of radioactive isotope, and now conta
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

10,000 years

Explanation:

Given that,

Half life of the radioactive isotope, t_{\frac{1}{2}} = 5000 years

Initial composition, N_0 = 16 grams

Final composition, N = 4 grams

We know that,

N=N_0\times (\dfrac{1}{2})^\frac{t}{t_\frac{1}{2}}}\\\\4=16(0.5)^\frac{t}{5000}}\\\\\dfrac{4}{16}=(0.5)^{\frac{t}{5000}}\\\\0.25=(0.5)^\frac{t}{5000}\\\\0.5^2=(0.5)^\frac{t}{5000}\\\\2=\dfrac{t}{5000}\\\\t=2\times 5000\\\\t=10000\ yrs

Therefore, the age of the rock is 10,000 years.

Why doping method is used to design a diode circuit​
Valentin [98]

Answer:

To increase the conductivity of the material.

Explanation:

Generally , the group 4 elements are non conductor but in certain conditions, such as doping or the increase in temperature, they becomes conductor.

The doping is the process of mixing of pentavalent or the trivalent material into tetra valent material in the very small amount, so that the material becomes conductor.

In making a diode we need two types of the materials, n type semiconductor and p type semi conductor.

When the trivalent impurity is added in the tetra valent element, the semiconductor becomes n type because an electron is left for the conduction.

When the pentavalent impurity is added in the tetra valent element, the semiconductor becomes p type because a hole is left for the conduction.

Oceans have a major effect on global climate because water in the oceans holds a large amount of heat. How does the heat absorpt
Goshia [24]

The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation. Ocean water is constantly evaporating, increasing the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air to form rain and storms that are then carried by trade winds, often vast distances. In fact, almost all rain that falls on land starts off in the ocean. The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area.
