Why is it necessary to collimate the light source before using the prism to disperse the light?.

The reason to collimate the light source before utilizing the prism is that if white light enters the prism at various angles, some blue light will exit the prism at the same angle.

Prisms' Dispersion of Light. When light source travels through a triangular prism, these hues are frequently seen. The prism separates the white light source divided into its individual colors, which are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Dispersion is the process through which visible light is divided into its various colors.

Since blue light has a shorter wavelength than red light and refracts more than the latter, it is bent more when white light enters a prism than red light.

- What is the total distance traveled by the car
slega [8]

*Graph is attached with the answer*

Answer:

Total distance traveled by the car is 40 m

Explanation:

It can be seen from the graph that for the first 4 second car is moving with uniform acceleration and for next 2 second it has constant velocity

So, we solved this question in 2 parts

Part 1:

               initial velocity = v₁ = 0 m/s

               final velocity = v₂ = 10 m/s

                time = t = 4 s

                acceleration = a = (v₂ - v₁)/t

                                a = 10/4 = 2.5 m/s²

Using 3rd equation of motion

                2as = v₂² - v₁²

                 2(2.5)s = 10²

                      s₁ = 100/5

                     s₁ = 20 m

Part 2:

            s₂ = v₂t

            s₂ = 10 × 2

            s₂ = 20 m

Total distance = S = s₁ + s₂

                              = 20 + 20

                          S = 40 m

A chimpanzee sitting against his favorite tree gets up and walks 51 m due east and 39 m due south to reach a termite mound, wher
n200080 [17]

Answer:

64.20m

Explanation:

As we can see from the image I have attached below, the route that the chipanzee makes forms a right triangle. In this case, the shortest distance is represented by x in the image, which is the hypotenuse. To find this value we use the Pythagorean theorem which is the following.

a^{2} +b^{2}  = c^{2}

where a and b are the length of the two sides and c is the length of the hypotenuse (x). Therefore, we can plug in the values of the image and solve for x

51^{2} +39^{2} =x^{2}

2,601 + 1,521 = x^{2}

4,122 = x^{2}   ... square root both sides

64.20 = x

Finally, we see that the shortest distance is 64.20m

A mirrored-glass gazing globe in a garden is 28.0 cm in diameter. part a what is the focal length of the glob
olga nikolaevna [1]
For a curved mirror, the radius of curvature R is twice the focal length f:
R=2f (1)
Since the diameter d is twice the radius R, we can rewrite (1) as
\frac{d}{2} = 2f
From which we can calculate the focal length from the diameter:
f= \frac{d}{4}= \frac{28.0 cm}{4}=7.0 cm
