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

Physics

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.

Two identical cylindrical vessels with their bases at the same level each contain a liquid of density 1.23 g/cm3. The area of ea
motikmotik

Explanation:

Work done by gravity is given by the formula,

           W = \rho A (h_{1} - h)g (h - h_{2}) ......... (1)

It is known that when levels are same then height of the liquid is as follows.

           h = \frac{h_{1} + h_{2}}{2} ......... (2)

Putting value of equation (2) in equation (1) the overall formula will be as follows.

       W = \frac{1}{4} \rho gA(h_{1} - h_{2})^{2})

           = \frac{1}{4} \times 1.23 g/cm^{3} \times 9.80 m/s^{2} \times 3.89 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}(1.76 m - 0.993 m)^{2})

           = 0.689 J

Thus, we can conclude that the work done by the gravitational force in equalizing the levels when the two vessels are connected is 0.689 J.

Coulomb's law states that the force F of attraction between two oppositely charged particles varies jointly as the magnitude of
Mars2501 [29]

Answer: Force F will be one-sixteenth of the new force when the charges are doubled and distance halved

Explanation:

Let the charges be q1 and q2 and the distance between the charges be 'd'

Mathematical representation of coulombs law will be;

F1=kq1q2/d²...(1)

Where k is the electrostatic constant.

If q1 and q2 is doubled and the distance halved, we will have;

F2 = k(2q1)(2q2)/(d/2)²

F2 = 4kq1q2/(d²/4)

F2 = 16kq1q2/d²...(2)

Dividing equation 1 by 2

F1/F2 = kq1q2/d² ÷ 16kq1q2/d²

F1/F2 = kq1q2/d² × d²/16kq1q2

F1/F2 = 1/16

F1 = 1/16F2

This shows that the force F will be one-sixteenth of the new force when the charges are doubled and distance halved

List several examples of applied force, normal force, and friction that you’ve observed in your life.
grandymaker [24]

applied forces would be push for example.

normal forces would seem to be a force such as gravity.

friction for example when you try to slide on carpet but the fabric or whatever its made of stops you.
