What is dispersion, and how is it related to diffraction and refraction?

Physics

iragen [17]4 years ago

Refraction is simply the bending of light when it moves from one material into another. If light is beamed at 90° to a surface, no bending happens. But if you shine the light at an angle it will bend one way or another.
   
    Diffraction is a process in which a beam of light travels through a gap or around a barrier, and spreads out as a result.

<span>   Dispersion is the property that the speed of light in a transparent material is different for different wavelengths. Thus the index of refraction is likewise different.</span>

What will be the force if the particle's charge is tripled and the electric field strength is halved? Give your answer in terms
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

1.5F

Explanation:

Using

E= F/q

Where F= force

E= electric field

q=charge

F= Eq

So if qis tripled and E is halved we have

F= (E/2)3q

F= 1.5Eq=>> 1.5F

A wire carrying a 32.0 A current passes between the poles of a strong magnet such that the wire is perpendicular to the magnet's
marin [14]

Answer:

2.24 T

Explanation:

From Electromagnetic Field,

F = BILsin∅................ Equation 1

Where F = Force on the wire, B = Field strength, I = current flowing in the conductor, L = length of the conductor, ∅ = The angle the conductor makes with the magnetic field.

Making B the subject of the equation,

B = F/ILsin∅..................... Equation 2

Given: F = 2.15 N, I = 32 A, L = 3.00 cm = 0.03 m, ∅ = 90° ( the wire is perpendicular to the magnetic field)

Substitute into equation 2

B = 2.15/(32×0.03×sin90°)

B = 2.15/0.96

B = 2.24 T.

Hence the Field strength = 2.24 T

check the state of polarization of the room lights by looking at the room lights through one of the polarizers and rotating it t
maria [59]

Answer:

No, there wasn't any variation in the light intensity at 360 degrees.

During the rotation, rotating through an angle of 90° gradually brought the intensity to a maximum. Rotating by another 90° degrees brought the intensity to a minimum at some point. Rotating by another 90° brought it back to its maximum and then another 90° brought it to its initial intensity.
