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.

Calculate the minimum thickness (in nm) of an oil slick on water that appears blue when illuminated by white light perpendicular

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The minimum thickness = 83.92 nm

Explanation:

The relation between the wavelength in a particular medium and refractive index $\lambda_n = \frac{ \lambda }{n}$

where ;

$\lambda$ = wavelength of the light in vacuum

n = refractive index of medium with respect to vacuum

For one phase change :

$2t = \frac{\lambda_n}{2}\\\\where \ \lambda_n = \frac{\lambda}{n}\\\\Then \ \\\\2t = \frac{\lambda}{2n}\\\\t = \frac{\lambda_n}{4n}$

Replacing 1.43 for n and 480 nm for λ; we have:

$t = \frac{480}{4(1.43)}$

t = 83.92 nm

Thus; the minimum thickness = 83.92 nm

II. IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF FORCE

uysha [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Frictional force is responsible for running of car and buses on roads.

2.Gravitational force exists between astronauts in space.

3. Magnetic for is responsible to attract the iron objects using a magnet

4.Electrostatic force is responsible for fiber to stick on the skin.This force occurs due to the presence of charge.

5.When a person is pushing a trolley then object experience a normal reaction from ground.

6.Gravitational force makes the planet to move in their orbits.

What two models are used to describe how light behaves

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Light is one of nature's ways of moving energy from one place to another.

Explanation:

It has no substance, or mass. How does light travel? Light behaves like a traveling wave, something like waves in a string or on the surface of water.
