Dispersion angle = 0.3875 degrees.
Width at bottom of block = 0.09297 cm
Thickness of rainbow = 0.07038 cm
Snell's law provides the formula that describes the refraction of light. It is:
n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)
where
n1, n2 = indexes of refraction for the different mediums
θ1, θ2 = angle of incident rays as measured from the normal to the surface.
Solving for θ2, we get
n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)
n1*sin(θ1)/n2 = sin(θ2)
asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
The index of refraction for air is 1.00029, So let's first calculate the angles of the red and violet rays.
Red:
asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
asin(1.00029*sin(40.80)/1.641) = θ2
asin(1.00029*0.653420604/1.641) = θ2
asin(0.398299876) = θ2
23.47193844 = θ2
Violet:
asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
asin(1.00029*sin(40.80)/1.667) = θ2
asin(1.00029*0.653420604/1.667) = θ2
asin(0.39208764) = θ2
23.08446098 = θ2
So the dispersion angle is:
23.47193844 - 23.08446098 = 0.38747746 degrees.
Now to determine the width of the beam at the bottom of the glass block, we need to calculate the difference in the length of the opposite side of two right triangles. Both triangles will have a height of 11.6 cm and one of them will have an angle of 23.47193844 degrees, while the other will have an angle of 23.08446098 degrees. The idea trig function to use will be tangent, where
tan(θ) = X/11.6
11.6*tan(θ) = X
So for Red:
11.6*tan(θ) = X
11.6*tan(23.47193844) = X
11.6*0.434230136 = X
5.037069579 = X
And violet:
11.6*tan(θ) = X
11.6*tan(23.08446098) = X
11.6*0.426215635 = X
4.944101361 = X
So the width as measured from the bottom of the block is: 5.037069579 cm - 4.944101361 cm = 0.092968218 cm
The actual width of the beam after it exits the flint glass block will be thinner. The beam will exit at an angle of 40.80 degrees and we need to calculate the length of the sides of a 40.80/49.20/90 right triangle. If you draw the beams, you'll realize that:
cos(θ) = X/0.092968218
0.092968218*cos(θ) = X
0.092968218*cos(40.80) = X
0.092968218*0.756995056 = X
0.070376481 = X
So the distance between the red and violet rays is 0.07038 cm.
Answer:
Heat can travel from one place to another in three ways: Conduction, Convection and Radiation. ... Thermal energy is transferred from hot places to cold places by convection. Convection occurs when warmer areas of a liquid or gas rise to cooler areas in the liquid or gas.
Explanation:
it's a unit used to measure charge (C)

The bouncy ball experiences the greater momentum change.
To understand why, you need to remember that momentum is actually
a vector quantity ... it has a size AND it has a direction too.
The putty and the ball have the same mass, and you throw them
with the same speed. So, on the way from your hand to the wall,
they both have the same momentum.
Call it " M in the direction toward the wall ".
After they both hit the wall:
-- The putty has zero momentum.
Its momentum changed by an amount of M .
-- The ball has momentum of " M in the direction away from the wall ".
Its momentum changed by an amount of 2M .
