As a form of energy, light has specific properties such as color and brightness. Some properties can only be seen with special t

ools. Think about properties of light and how color in white light can be investigated.
Which statements are true about light properties and how color in white light can be investigated?
A. White light can be separated using any glass object.

B.Light travels in a straight line until it strikes an object. When white light is separated by a prism, the colors appear in a random order.

C.The way light reacts when it strikes an object depends on the properties of that object. When a single-colored light passes through a prism, it becomes white.

D. As white light passes through a prism , it bends and separates into different colors

Answer:

D. As white light passes through a prism , it bends and separates into different colors

Explanation:

When light enters a prism, it experiences a phenomenon called 'refraction'.

Refraction occurs when light crosses the interface between two mediums with different optical density; when this happens, the light bends and also changes speed.

The angle at which the ray of light is refracted into the second medium depends on the optical density of the two mediums, but also on the wavelength of the light.

In particular, longer wavelengths (red color) are refracted the least, while shorter wavelengths (violet color) are refracted the most.

As a result, when white light (consisting of all the colors of visible light) enters into a prism, they different wavelengths are separated: therefore, white light separates into different colors.

So, the correct answer is

D. As white light passes through a prism , it bends and separates into different colors

An ideal gas contained in a piston-cylinder assembly is compressed isothermally in an internally reversible process.
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

a) \Delta S

b) entropy of the sistem equal to a), entropy of the universe grater than a).

Explanation:

a) The change of entropy for a reversible process:

\delta S=\frac{\delta Q}{T}

\Delta S=\frac{Q}{T}

The energy balance:

\delta U=[tex]\delta Q- \delta W

If the process is isothermical the U doesn't change:

0=[tex]\delta Q- \delta W

\delta Q= \delta W

Q= W

The work:

W=\int_{V1}^{V2}P*dV

If it is an ideal gas:

P=\frac{n*R*T}{V}

W=\int_{V1}^{V2}\frac{n*R*T}{V}*dV

Solving:

W=n*R*T*ln(V2/V1)

Replacing:

\Delta S=\frac{n*R*T*ln(V2/V1)}{T}

\Delta S=n*R*ln(V2/V1)}

Given that it's a compression: V2<V1 and ln(V2/V1)<0. So:

\Delta S

b) The entropy change of the sistem will be equal to the calculated in a), but the change of entropy of the universe will be 0 in a) (reversible process) and in b) has to be positive given that it is an irreversible process.

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Extensive properties vary with the amount of the substance and include mass, weight, and volume. Intensive properties, in contrast, do not depend on the amount of the substance; they include color, melting point, boiling point, electrical conductivity, and physical state at a given temperature.

A mole of oxygen and a mole of hydrogen (at STP) have all of the following in common EXCEPT
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Root mean squared velocity is different.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we have a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen at STP, which is defined as a condition whereas T = 298 K and P = 1 atm, we can infer that these gases have the same temperature, pressure, volume and moles but a different root mean squared velocity according to the following formula:

v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{MM} }

Since they both have a different molar mass (MM), nitrogen (28.02 g/mol) and oxygen (32.02 g/mol), thus we infer that nitrogen would have a higher root mean squared velocity as its molar mass is less than that of oxygen.

Best regards!
