Which uses the refractive properties of light to separate it into its different wavelengths?

1 answer:

5 0

A). No. A mirror doesn't separate light into its different wavelengths.

B). No. Light doesn't separate into its different wavelengths when it
goes, say, from glass into water.

C). No. When light goes through your glasses, it doesn't separate
into its different wavelengths.

D). Yes ! When sunlight shines into droplets of water in the atmosphere,
it comes out separated into its different wavelengths. When we see that
happening in the air in front of us, we call it a "rainbow".

Orange light of wavelength 0.61 µ m in air enters a block of glass with εr = 1.44. What color would it appear to a sensor embedd

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

$0.5083\ \mu m$

Explanation:

$\lambda_0$ = Actual wavelength = $0.61\ \mu m$

$\varepsilon_r$ = Relative permittivity = 1.44

The observed wavelength in the glass is given by

$\lambda=\dfrac{\lambda_0}{\sqrt{\varepsilon_r}}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{0.61}{\sqrt{1.44}}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=0.5083\ \mu m$

The wavelength lies in the range of green light.

Hence, the observed color of light is $0.5083\ \mu m$

4.00 kg glass coffee cup is 30.0°C at room temperature. It is then plunged into hot dishwater at a temperature of 90.0°C, as sho

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Q = 200800 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 4kg

Initial temperature = 30.0°C

Final temperature = 90.0°C

Specific heat capacity of glass = 837 J/kg°C

To find the quantity of heat absorbed;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

$Q = mcdt$

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 90 - 30

dt = 60°C

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

$Q = 4*837*60$

Q = 200800 Joules.

Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed is 200800 Joules.

To construct a solenoid, you wrap insulated wire uniformly around a plastic tube 7.1 cm in diameter and 57 cm in length. You wou

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

We need about 8769 meters of wire to produce a 2.6 kilogauss magnetic field.

Explanation:

Recall the formula for the magnetic field produced by a solenoid of length L. N turns, and running a current I:

$B=\mu_0\,\frac{N}{L} \,I$

So, in our case, where B = 2.6 KG = 0.26 Tesla; I is 3 amperes, and L = 0.57 m, we can find what is the number of turns needed;

$B=\mu_0\,\frac{N}{L} \,I\\0.26=4\,\pi\,10^{-7}\frac{N}{0.57} \,3\\N=\frac{0.26*0.57\,10^7}{12\,\pi} \\N=39311.27$

Therefore we need about 39312 turns of wire. Considering that each turn must have a length of $\pi\,D$ , where D is the diameter of the plastic cylindrical tube, then the total length of the wire must be:

$Length=39312\,(\pi\,D)=39312\,(\pi\,0.071)\approx 8768.66\,\,m$

We can round it to about 8769 meters.
