Answer:

Dispersion

Explanation:

<u>Dispersion is the phenomenon of the splitting of the light into its constituent colors when it passes through the prism.</u> White light is composed of seven colors which are Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, written in the form of increasing wavelength. When the light passes through the prism it splits into these seven colors.

Which of the following terms refers to the shortest length from a starting

shutvik [7]

Answer:

A) Distance

Explanation:

The shortest distance that is represented as the measurement from one point to another is called distance.

It should not be confused with displacement as it represents the sum of the distances travelled by a body or person.

It is known that the gravitational force of attraction between two alpha particles is much weaker than the electrical repulsion.

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

<em>The ratio of gravitational force to electrical force is 3.19 x 10^-36 </em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

mass of an alpha particle = 6.64 x $10^{-27}$ kg

charge on an alpha particle = +2e = +2(1.6 x $10^{-19}$ C) = 3.2 x $10^{-19}$ C

distance between particles = d

For gravitational attraction:

The force of gravitational attraction F = $\frac{Gm^{2} }{r^{2} }$

where G = gravitational constant = 6.67 x $10^{-11}$ m^3 kg^-1 s^-2

r = the distance between the particles = d

m = the mass of each particle

therefore, gravitational force = $\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*(6.64*10^{-27} )^{2} }{d^{2} }$ = $\frac{2.94*10^{-63} }{d^{2} }$ Newton

For electrical repulsion:

Electrical force between the particles = $\frac{-kQ^{2} }{r^{2} }$

where k is the Coulomb's constant = 9.0 x $10^{9}$ N•m^2/C^2

r = distance between the particles = d

Q = charge on each particle

therefore, electrical force = $\frac{-9*10^{9}*(3.2*10^{-19} )^{2} }{d^{2} }$ = $\frac{-9.216*10^{-28} }{d^{2} }$ Newton

the negative sign implies that there is a repulsion on the particles due to their like charges.

Ratio of the magnitude of gravitation to electrical force = $\frac{2.94*10^{-63} }{9.216*10^{-28} }$

==> <em>3.19 x 10^-36 </em>
