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

The 68-kg crate is stationary when the force P is applied. Determine the resulting acceleration of the crate if (a) P = 0, (b) P

bogdanovich [222]

Explanation:

Mass of the crate, m = 68 kg

We need to find the resulting acceleration if :

(a) Force, P = 0

P = m a

⇒ a = 0

(b) P = 181 N

$a=\dfrac{P}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{181\ N}{68\ kg}$

$a=2.67\ m/s^2$

(c) P = 352 N

$a=\dfrac{P}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{352\ N}{68\ kg}$

$a=5.17\ m/s^2$

Hence, this is the required solution.

If we're interested in knowing the rate at which light energy is recieved by a unit of area on a particular surface, we're reall

beks73 [17]

Illluminance is the measurement of photometric power. That means, illuminance is the rate of photometric flux that is received by a surface per area. It is usually expressed as a unit of W/m^2. Thus, from the choices, the answer we're looking for is illuminance<span>.</span>

A large magnetic flux change through a coil must induce a greater emf in the coil than a small flux change. A) True B) False

bixtya [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Faraday's law gives the relationship between the induced emf and the rate of change of magnetic flux i.e.

$\epsilon=\dfrac{-d\phi}{dt}$

The given statement "A large magnetic flux change through a coil must induce a greater emf in the coil than a small flux change" is false. The reason is that if the rate of change of magnetic flux is greater, then its will induce more emf. It would mean it does not say about emf.

Hence, it is false.
