The refraction occurs because when the light beam hits the prism, it is bent and light ricochets and the light is sometimes separated into the different colors.

Explanation:

Refraction: It is the phenomenon in which the light rays get bend while travelling from one medium to the another medium. It is due to change in the speed of the light.

The light rays get bend towards the normal while travelling from rarer medium to the denser medium.

The light rays get bend away from the normal while travelling from denser medium to the rarer medium.

When light passes through lenses and through a set of prism then refraction will take place as the light is travelling from rarer medium (air) to the denser medium (prism or lens). It is due to change in the speed of the light.

Leya [2.2K]

Hello. You did not enter the data to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to have an exact answer. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

The forces that hold the elements together are called intermolecular forces. They are formed by covalent bonds between the molecules and can be called: dipole-induced (occurs between nonpolar molecules that have a negative pole and a positive pole) and dipole-dipole (occurs between polar moileculas, except when hydrogen is present).

Which description matches up correctly with each type of particle? Alpha - no mass and no charge; beta - mass of 4 and charge of
Veseljchak [2.6K]
The closest answer is
Alpha - mass of 4 and charge of +2; beta - no mass and charge of -1; gamma - no mass and no charge (consists of energy)

It’s not exactly correct because a beta particle has the (small) mass of an electron (also the positron). All other choices are way off, I’d go with this one.

I am really struggling with this question because I can't find anything on aphelion and perihelion, it's not a topic we went ove
Hoochie [10]

I have a strange hunch that there's some more material or previous work
that goes along with this question, which you haven't included here.

I can't easily find the dates of Mercury's extremes, but here's some of the
other data you're looking for:

Distance at Aphelion (point in it's orbit that's farthest from the sun):
<span><span><span><span><span>69,816,900 km
0. 466 697 AU</span>

</span> </span> </span> <span> Distance at Perihelion (</span></span><span>point in it's orbit that's closest to the sun):</span>
<span><span><span><span>46,001,200 km
0.307 499 AU</span> </span>

Perihelion and aphelion are always directly opposite each other in
the orbit, so the time between them is  1/2  of the orbital period.

</span><span>Mercury's Orbital period = <span><span>87.9691 Earth days</span></span></span></span>

1/2 (50%) of that is  43.9845  Earth days

The average of the aphelion and perihelion distances is

     1/2 ( 69,816,900 + 46,001,200 ) = 57,909,050 km
or
     1/2 ( 0.466697 + 0.307499) = 0.387 098  AU
 
This also happens to be 1/2 of the major axis of the elliptical orbit.
