<em>Refraction</em> causes the ray of white light to be split into seven different colors.


Answer: <em>A. Refraction</em>

Refraction causes the light to bend. Each wavelength bends by a slightly different amount.

The light doesn't "split into 7 colors". It smears, into all of the thousands of colors that eyes can detect, plus some that they can't.

Light could be thought of as a stream of tiny particles discharged by _______ objects that travel in straight paths. *
Gelneren [198K]

Answer: Light could be thought of as a stream of tiny particles discharged by luminous objects that travel in straight paths.

Explanation:

We can define "radiation" as the transmision of energy trough waves or particles.

Particularly, light is a form of electromagnetic radiation, so the "tiny particles" of light are discharged by a radiating object, particularly we can be more explicit and call it a luminous object, in this way we are being specific about the nature of the radiation of the object.

Calculate the force which will produce an extension of 0.30mm in a steel wire with a length of 4.0m and a cross section area of
Anna [14]

Given data:

* The extension of the steel wire is 0.3 mm.

* The length of the wire is 4 m.

* The area of cross section of wire is,

A=2\times10^{-6}m^2

* The young modulus of the steel is,

Y=2.1\times10^{11}\text{ Pa}

Solution:

The young modulus of the steel in terms of the force and extension is,

Y=\frac{F\times l}{A\times dl}

where F is the force acting on the steel wire,, l is the original length of the wire, dl is the extension of the wire, and A is the area,

Substituting the known values,

\begin{gathered} 2.1\times10^{11}=\frac{F\times4}{2\times10^{-6}\times0.3\times10^{-3}} \\ F=0.315\times10^2\text{ N} \\ F=31.5\text{ N} \end{gathered}

Thus, the force which produce the extension of 0.3 mm of the steel wire is 31.5 N.

A man starts from rest and accelerates at 4.00 m/s2. If he covers a distance of 525 m, how long does he accelerate?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

16.2 s

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 525 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 4.00 m/s²

Find: t

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

525 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (4.00 m/s²) t²

t = 16.2 s

Question: An increased number of rod cells increase the ability to see, A. during the day B. at night C. underwater or D. colors
Fynjy0 [20]
B- at night

In eyes of the humans, and many other animals there are two types of receptors, the rods, and the cones. The cones have an important role in color vision and they possess different types of pigment which enable color vision.
On the other hand, the rods are more sensitive to light, and they are responsible for black and white vision.
Therefore, an increase in the number of rods can enable the animal to see betther in the dark.
