Answer:

it is because the refracting surgaces of the prism are not parallel with each other

Answer:

Since different colours of light travel at different speeds, the refractive index is different for each colour. As a result, when light passes through the refracting surface of the prism,its components bend into different angles, causing the single beam of light to separate

Consider two identical insulated metal spheres, A and B. Sphere A initially has a charge of -6.0 units and sphere B initially ha

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

<em>-2 units of charge</em>

Explanation:

charge on A = Qa = -6 units

charge on B = Qb = 2 units

if the spheres are brought in contact with each other, the resultant charge will be evenly distributed on the spheres when they are finally separated.

charge on each sphere will be = $\frac{Qa + Qb}{2}$

charge on each sphere = $\frac{-6 + 2}{2}$ = $\frac{-4}{2}$ = <em>-2 units of charge</em>
