Red, green, and blue light rays each enter a drop of water from the same direction.Which light ray's path through the drop will

bend the most, and which will bend the least?Why?

Blue light will bend more than the others because it has a slightly greater refractive index. This is because blue light has a shorter wavelength and more energy, meaning it has to slow down more than the others when it hits the water.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

t=67.7s

Explanation:

From this question we know that:

Vo = 6m/s

a = 1.8 m/s2

D = 1500m

And we also know that:

X=V_{o}*t + \frac{a*t^{2}}{2}   Replacing the known values:

1500=6t+0.9*t^{2}    Solving for t we get 2 possible answers:

t1 = -44.3s   and t2 = 67.7s    Since negative time represents an instant before the beginning of the movement, t1 is discarded. So, the final answer is:

t = 67.7s

Explain why the same side of the moon is always facing Earth.
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The moon keeps the same face pointing towards the Earth because its rate of spin is tidally locked so that it is synchronized with its rate of revolution (the time needed to complete one orbit). In other words, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.

The central star of a planetary nebula emits ultraviolet light with wavelength 104nm. This light passes through a diffraction gr
Gala2k [10]

Answer: 31.33 degrees

Explanation:

The diffraction angles \theta_{n} when we have a slit divided into n parts are obtained by  the following equation:

dsin\theta_{n}=n\lambda   (1)

Where:

d is the width of the slit

\lambda  is the wavelength of the light

n is an integer different from zero.

Now, the first-order diffraction angle is given when n=1, hence equation (1) becomes:

dsin\theta_{1}=\lambda   (2)

Now we have to find the value of \theta_{1}:

sin\theta_{1}=\frac{\lambda}{d}  

\theta_{1}=arcsin(\frac{\lambda}{d})   (3)

We know:

\lambda=104nm=104(10)^{-9}m

In addition we are told the diffraction grating has 5000 slits per mm, this means:

d=\frac{1mm}{5000}=\frac{1(10)^{-3}m}{5000}

Substituting the known values in (3):

\theta_{1}=arcsin(\frac{104(10)^{-9}m}{\frac{1(10)^{-3}m}{5000}})

\theta_{1}=arcsin(0.52)

<u>Finally:</u>

\theta_{1}=31.33\º >>>This is the first-order diffraction angle

Advocard [28]

Answer:

Resistivity ρ=1.12 x 10^-4 Ωm

Explanation:

ρ= RA/l, where R is resistance, A is cross sectional area and l is length

A=πr^2

Note Current is given R is proportion to temperature and inversely proportional to Current R=(20+273)/14*10^-2 =2000Ω

⇒ρ=R*πr^2/l all length in metre.
