A) Sunlight basically consists of a combination of light of different wavelengths. Each of these wavelengths correspond to each of the colors of the rainbow. For example, red light has the longest wavelength. This is followed by orange, then yellow, green, blue and indigo. Violet has the shortest wavelength. These wavelengths (750 nm to 400 nm) constitute the visible colors. All these light components of different wavelengths combine together to become the color white.
b) When this sunlight passes through droplets of rain, it gets refracted and that is what breaks up the white light into individual colors of the rainbow, just how light passing through a glass prism gets broken down into its individual seven colors.
c) Different objects have the ability to absorb different wavelengths of light. For example, glass absorbs light of all wavelengths except those between 560-520nm, which corresponds to green light. So it reflects the green light and thus, our eyes see grass as green in color.
d) Light of wavelength below 400 nm (ultraviolet) and above 750nm (Infrared) are not visible. However, they exist in the sun's radiation. Ultraviolet rays are very harmful and responsible for causing sunburn and some types of skin tumors. Infrared light is also harmful and can cause premature wrinkling of skin.
<u>Answer</u>
224 Km
4 Km
<u>Explanation</u>
<u>Part 1</u>
The plane flies 100 Km north and then 200 Km east. This makes a 90° turn. To get the distance taken by the plane we get the hypotenuse.
c² = a² + b²
c² = 100² + 200²
= 50,000
c = √50,000
= 223.606 Km
The answer to the nearest whole number is 224 Km
<u>Part 2</u>
If the runner run 15 Km north then 11 Km south, the resultant distance would be,
15 - 11 = 4 Km
The ball has the greatest potential energy when it reaches the top of its flight. Option C is correct.
<h3>What is
potential energy?</h3>
The potential energy of a body or object is due to its position. The ball has the greatest potential energy when it reaches the highest point.
Where,
- potential energy
- mass
- gravitation acceleration
- height
Since the mass and gravitation acceleration is constant hence potential energy will be directly proportional to the height of the ball.
Therefore, the ball has the greatest potential energy when it reaches the top of its flight.

<span>As seen by Barbara, Neil is traveling at a velocity of 6.1 m/s at and angle of 76.7 degrees north from due west.
Let's assume that both Barbara and Neil start out at coordinate (0,0) and skate for exactly 1 second. Where do they end up?
Barbara is going due south at 5.9 m/s, so she's at (0,-5.9)
Neil is going due west at 1.4 m/s, so he's at (-1.4,0)
Now to see Neil's relative motion to Barbara, compute a translation that will place Barbara back at (0,0) and apply that same translation to Neil. Adding (0,5.9) to their coordinates will do this.
So the translated coordinates for Neil is now (-1.4, 5.9) and Barbara is at (0,0).
The magnitude of Neil's velocity as seen by Barbara is
sqrt((-1.4)^2 + 5.9^2) = sqrt(1.96 + 34.81) = sqrt(36.77) = 6.1 m/s
The angle of his vector relative to due west will be
atan(5.9/1.4) = atan(4.214285714) = 76.7 degrees
So as seen by Barbara, Neil is traveling at a velocity of 6.1 m/s at and angle of 76.7 degrees north from due west.</span>
