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.

To what volume will a sample of gas expand if it is heated from 50.0°c and 2.33 l to 500.0°c?

Lena [83]

The volume of the gas at $500^{\circ} \text{C}$ is $\fbox{\begin\ 5.576\,{\text{L}}\\\end{minispace}}$ .

Further Explanation:

Consider the pressure of the gas to be constant.

The change in the volume of the gas when the temperature of the gas is varied by keeping the pressure of the gas at a constant value is defined by the Charles' Law.

Concept:

According to the Charles law, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

The Charles' law can be stated as:

$\fbox{\begin\\V\propto T\\\end{minispace}}$

The above expression can we written as.

$\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}$

Convert the temperature of the gas into kelvin.

$T=273+T^\circ\text{C}}}$

Here, T is the temperature in kelvin and $T^\circ\text{C}}}$ is the temperature in centigrade.

The initial temperature of the gas is $50^\circ\text{C}$ . The temperature of the gas in kelvin is.

$\begin{aligned}{T_1}&=273+50\\&=323\,{\text{K}}\\\end{aligned}$

The final temperature of the gas is $500^\circ\text{C}$ . The temperature in kelvin is.

$\begin{aligned}{T_2}&=273+500\\&=773\,{\text{K}}\\\end{aligned}$

Substitute the values of temperature and volume in the expression of the Charles' Law.

$\begin{aligned}{V_2}&=\frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}}{V_1}\\&=\frac{{773\,{\text{K}}}}{{323\,{\text{K}}}}\left({2.33\,{\text{L}}}\right)\\&=5.576\,{\text{L}}\\\end{aligned}$

Thus, the volume of the gas at $500^\circ\text{C}}$ will be $\fbox{\begin\ 5.576\,{\text{L}}\\\end{minispace}}$ .

A bottle lying on the windowsill falls off and takes 4.95 seconds to reach the ground. The distance from the windowsill to the g

Liula [17]

The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is
D = (1/2) (g) (t²)
   Distance = (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)

We want to see how the time will be affected
if ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does.
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '.                                                      D = (1/2) (g) (t²)

Multiply each side by 2 :         2 D =            g    t²

Divide each side by ' g ' :      2 D/g =                  t²

Square root each side:        t = √ (2D/g)

Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes:

-- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'

   and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .--

They don't change by the same factor, because 1/g is inside the square root. So 't' changes the same amount as √1/g does.

Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly 1/6 the value of gravity on the surface of the Earth.

So we expect ' t ' to increase by √6 = 2.45 times.

It would take the same bottle (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the surface of the Moon.
