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.

Under certain circumstances, potassium ions (K ) in a cell will move across the 8.15 nm thick cell membrane from the inside to t

Verdich [7]

Answer:

$1.288\times 10^{-20}\ J$

Increase

Explanation:

q = Charge in the potassium ion = $19e-18e$

e = Charge of electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

$V_2-V_1$ = Change in potential = $0-(-80.5\times 10^{-3})$

Change in electric potential is given by

$E=q(V_2-V_1)\\\Rightarrow E=(19e-18e)(0-(-80.5\times 10^{-3})\\\Rightarrow E=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 80.5\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow E=1.288\times 10^{-20}\ J$

The energy is $1.288\times 10^{-20}\ J$

The potential energy will increase.

A man weighing 750 n and a woman weighing 500 n have the same momentum. what is the ratio of the man's kinetic energy km to that

miss Akunina [59]

Because weight W = M g, the ratio of weights equals the ratio of masses.

(M_m g)/ (M_w g) = [ (p^2 Man )/ (2 K_man)] / [ (p^2 Woman )/ (2 K_woman)

but p's are equal, so

K_m/K_m = (M_w g)/(M_m g) = W_woman / W_man = 450/680 = 0.662

An astronaut standing on a platform on the moon drops a hammer. if the hammer falls 6.0 meters vertically in 2.7 seconds, what i

Amanda [17]

The distance that is traveled by the astronaut given that the motion is free-fall can be calculated through the equation,

d = Vot + 0.5at²

where d is the distance, Vo is the initial velocity, t is the time, and a is the acceleration. Substituting the known,

6 = (0 m/s)(2.7 s) + 0.5(a)(2.7 s)²

Determining the value of a,
a = 1.646 m/s²

ANSWER: 1.646 m/s²

Where will you find the most kinetic energy? ice or water?

const2013 [10]

Answer:

Water has more kinetic energy because it is liquid, as ice is harder, so it's cells can't move as much.
