What kind of light results when the total spectrum of refracted light is recombined? violet green white red?

1 answer:

4 0

Hello
The final light will be white. In fact, each color of the visible spectrum is an electromagnetic wave with its own specific frequency and wavelength. White, instead, does not have a specific frequency: it is the sum of all the different wavelengths of the visible spectrum. Therefore, when recombining the spectrum of the refracted light all the different frequencies recombine together, and their sum gives white light.

URGENT PHYSICS QUESTION WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

7.2V

Explanation:

Find the equivalent resistance:

Req = 10 ohms + 15 ohms = 25 ohms

Use ohm's law to find the current:

V = IR

12V = I(25 ohms)

I = .48 amps

Multiple the current with the value of R2 to get the voltage drop:

.48amps x 15 ohms = 7.2V

How do I find the speed of sound when given Frequency and displacement?

IceJOKER [234]

Answer: Taking into account sound is a wave, we can use the information of the displacement (generally given as a graph) to find the wavelength and frequency, then we can calculate the speed with the formula of the speed of a wave.

Explanation:

If we have the displacement graph of the sound wave, we can find its amplitude, its wavelength and period (which is the inverse of frequency).

Now, if we additionally have the frequency as data, we can use the equation of the speed of a wave:

$s=\lambda f$

Where:

$s$ is the speed of the sound wave

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

$f$ is the frequency

The earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 N/C and directed in toward the c

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the electric charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is 3.923 coulombs and its sign is negative.

b) The force of repulsion between two people is $13.851\times 10^{6}$ newtons. The use of the earth's electric field a feasible means of flight is not feasible since electric force of repulsion would destroy human body before taking advantage of any possible flight skill.

Explanation:

a) From Second Newton's Law, we form this equation of equilibrium:

$\Sigma F = F_{E}-W = 0$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$F_{E}$ - Electrostatic force exerted on human, measured in Newton.

$W$ - Weight of the human, measured in Newton.

If we consider that human can be represented as a particle and make use of definitions of electric field and weight, the previous equation is expanded and electric charge is cleared afterwards:

$q\cdot E-m\cdot g = 0$

$q = \frac{m\cdot g}{E}$ (Eq. 2)

$E$ - Electric field, measured in Newtons per Coloumb.

$m$ - Mass, measured in kilograms.

$g$ - Gravity acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$q$ - Electric charge, measured in Coulomb.

As electric field of the Earth is directed in toward the center of the planet, that is, in the same direction of gravity, electric field must be a negative value. If we know that $m = 60\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $E = -150\,\frac{N}{C}$ , the charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is:

$q = \frac{(60\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}{-150\,\frac{N}{C} }$

$q = -3.923\,C$

The magnitude of the electric charge that a 60-kg human must have to overcome weight is 3.923 coulombs and its sign is negative.

b) The electric force of repulsion between two people with the same charge calculated in part (a) is determined by Coulomb's Law, whose definition we proceed to use:

$F = \kappa \cdot \frac{q^{2}}{r^{2}}$ (Eq. 3)

Where:

$\kappa$ - Electrostatic constant, measured in Newton-square meter per square Coulomb.

$q$ - Electric charge, measured in Coulomb.

$r$ - Distance between two people, measured in meters.

If we know that $\kappa = 9\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}}$ , $q = -3.923\,C$ and $r = 100\,m$ , then the force of repulsion between two people is:

$F = \left(9\times 10^{9}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{C^{2}} \right)\cdot \left[\frac{(-3.923\,C)^{2}}{(100\,m)^{2}} \right]$

$F = 13.851\times 10^{6}\,N$

The force of repulsion between two people is $13.851\times 10^{6}$ newtons. The use of the earth's electric field a feasible means of flight is not feasible since electric force of repulsion would destroy human body before taking advantage of any possible flight skill.
