Answer:

The color that is refracted the most has the shortest wavelength

Explanation:

The warmer colors (yellow to red) have shorter wavelengths and the colder (green to violet) shorter wavelengths. Bearing in mind that light is radiant energy, the shorter the wavelength, the greater the frequency and the greater the amount of energy, allowing colors with shorter wavelengths to be more refracted.

The light can reflect in several ways but it follows a law: the angle of incidence is the same as the starting angle. If the light reflects on a perfectly smooth surface, such as in a mirror (which is glass with a silver film), the light will be reflected exactly as it did. That is why we see an image totally faithful in form and color when we see ourselves in the mirror. But if the object is not smooth, it will reflect part of the incident light and absorb the rest. The illumination of this object will reveal only its own color, shape, texture and not the image of a reflection. Black objects absorb light completely and white objects reflect it completely. The colorful visual sensation of objects, in fact, is the detection and perception of the wavelength that they are reflecting.

The color that is refracted the most has the SHORTER wavelength. The shorter the wavelength,the more it gets refracted.

Point charges q1=+2.00μC and q2=−2.00μC are placed at adjacent corners of a square for which the length of each side is 5.00 cm.

The electric potential is a scalar unit, so we don't have to struggle with the vectors. The formula that gives electric potential is

$V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q}{r}$

1) At point a, the electric potential is the sum of the potentials due to q1 and q2. So,

$V_a = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1}{r_1} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_2}{r_2}$

The distance from the center of the square to one of the corners is $\sqrt2 L/2 = 0.035m$

$V_a = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.035} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{-2\times10^{-6}}{0.035} = 0$

The answer is zero, because the point charges are at equal distances and their magnitudes are also equal but their directions are opposite.

2) $V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1}{r_1} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_2}{r_2}$

$r_1 = 0.05\sqrt2m\\r_2 = 0.05m$

$V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.05\sqrt2} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{-2\times10^{-6}}{0.05}\\V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.05} (\frac{1}{\sqrt2}-1)\\V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} (4\times 10^{-5})(-0.29)\\V_b = (-\frac{2.9\times10^{-6}}{\pi\epsilon_0})[tex]3) The work done on q3 by q1 and q2 is equal to the difference between energies. This is the work-energy theorem. So,[tex]W = U_b - U_a$
