Answer:

The angular dispersion of a prism depends on the index of refraction only.

Explanation:

The angular dispersion of a prism mainly depends upon the refractive index of a material. And this refractive index is dependent on the wavelength of light. Each colour possesses its own characteristic and the wavelength is also different. There has been a relation between refractive index of a material and wavelength of light higher the wavelength of the colour, greater would be the dispersion of light. As like when we passes light from a prism, according to this principle, the colours are dispersed.

All the other options are incorrect as cannot decide angle of dispersion.

Which number is not rounded correctly?

DedPeter [7]

The answer would be <span>B. 210.8 rounded to 210

When rounding, if the digit you are rounding is equal to or larger than 5, you round the number up. For example: 15 rounded up to 20. 99 rounded up to 100.

210.8 would be rounded up to 211 because the 8 is greater than five, so you have to round it up.</span>
