Answer:

Explanation:

Prism is a glass object that is used to study the pattern of refraction.

During this experiment it is not advised to used small values of incident angle , as when a small amount of incident ray is passed the refracted pattern observed at the end will not provide satisfactory results.

The amount of light that comes out of prism which is the refracted light will also be small hence study of complete refracted pattern will not be possible.

The small incident angle will give rise to more errors in measurement.

Light is an electromagnetic wave and travels at a speed of 3.00 × 108 m/s. The human eye is most sensitive to yellow-green light

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

$f = 5.95 \times 10^{14} Hz$

Explanation:

As we know that the frequency of the wave is given as

$f = \frac{c}{\lambda}$

here we know that

$c = 3 \times 10^8 m/s$

also we know that

$\lambda = 5.04 \times 10^{-7} m$

now we have

$f = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{5.04 \times 10^{-7}}$

$f = 5.95 \times 10^{14} Hz$

What is intermolecular forces and how is it related to phases of matter

MakcuM [25]

Intermolecular forces are forces that keep molecules together. For example, the forces between two water molecules. The stronger the intermolecular forces are, the more "solid" is the matter going to be, meaning that the intermolecular forces are the strongest in solids and weakest in gases.
Make sure not to confuse intERmolecular forces (forces between *molecules*) and intRAmolecular forces (forces between *atoms* that make up a molecule).

How do you solve for a net force

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Learning the formula.multiply mass accelebrations.the force(F)required to move an object of mass(M) with an acceleration (a) is given by the formula F = m x a.so, force = mass multiplied by accelebration.
