A hydrogen discharge lamp emits light with two prominent wavelengths: 656 nm (red) and 486 nm (blue). The light enters a flint-g

Answer:

The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of red = 656 nm

Wavelength of blue = 486 nm

Angle = 37°

Suppose we need to find the angle between the red and blue light as it leaves the prism

n_{r}=1.572

n_{b}=1.587

We need to calculate the angle for red wavelength

Using Snell's law,

n_{r}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{r}

Put the value into the formula

1.572\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{r}

\theta_{r}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.572\sin37}{1})

\theta_{r}=71.0^{\circ}

We need to calculate the angle for blue wavelength

Using Snell's law,

n_{b}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{b}

Put the value into the formula

1.587\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{b}

\theta_{b}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.587\sin37}{1})

\theta_{b}=72.7^{\circ}

We need to calculate the angle between the red and blue light

Using formula of angle

\Delta \theta=\theta_{b}-\theta_{r}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta \theta=72.7-71.0

\Delta \theta=1.7^{\circ}

Hence, The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

Which of the following statements concerning the lab is TRUE?
Over [174]

Answer:

(b) To get m3 to slide, m1 must be increased, never decreased.

Explanation:

Lab experiments require attentiveness. If there is one thing missed or not taken seriously whole experiment could go wrong. In this case to slide m3 there should be more weight at m1. If the weight of m1 is lesser than m3 then the object will not slide. It will remain at the point where there is more weight. To slide an object there must be less frictional surface and more weight placed at the desired end point.

Tema [17]

Answer:

B.

1-3hours

Explanation:

This is because a diabetic patients have increased blood sugar or glucose concentration. After eating a meal, the blood glucose concentration will be increased as it is been accumulated . Therefore it is best diabetic patient exercise at that hour to reduce it's blood glucose concentration.
