Answer: The light is slowed down by the prism, but the different wavelengths of light are  all slowed down a different amount by the prism.

Explanation:

What happens here is that white light passes from a medium with an specific index of refraction (air) to another medium with a different index of refraction (the material of which the prism is composed).

Then, when light passes from a medium to another, its speed changes causing the deviation of the beam of light. However, we are talking about white light that is composed of different wavelenghts. So, since the frequency of light remains costant when passing from one medium to another, the different wavelengths change as a result of the change in speed.

This was first observed by Isaac Newton in the eighteenth century, when he found out that when a beam of light from the Sun, passes trhough a prism is decomposed in many different colors.

Directions: WRITE a summary of the Newton’s Laws of Motion reading.
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

In Newton's 1st Law, a stationary body or that moving with a uniform motion, will only change its state if acted upon by other external forces.This restance to change in position/motion is called inertia. In his second law, when a body is acted upon by a force, the force will be equal to the product of mass and acceleration of the body.i.e. Force= m.a. In the third law, it explains that a body will exert an equal and opposite force when intracting with another body.Here, every action force experiences an equal and opposite reaction force, where the momentum of the bodies will be conserved.

What device increases voltage?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Your answer would be C.

A step-up transformer is a transformer that raises voltage from main to secondary by having more secondary winding turns than primary winding turns.

Hope this helps; have a great day!
