If dirt and grease were good conductors of electrical current, then we could make wire
out of dirt and grease instead of expensive copper.  Sadly, they're not. So a coating of
dirt and grease on the wire can have a substantial impact on the connection, and can
even block the flow of current across the connection completely.  Moreover, in the case
where the ends of the wires are to be soldered, solder does not adhere to dirty wire.

Why does a Ray of light passing through a glass slab not shown dispersion?​
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

After refraction at two parallel faces of a glass slab, a ray of light emerges in a direction parallel to the direction of incidence of white light on the slab. As rays of all colours emerge in the same direction (of incidence of white light), hence there is no dispersion, but only lateral displacement.

Classify each change (which can be manipulated within the green box) according to its effect on the wavelength.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The classification will be made into 3 categories, which are

Ones that shortens wavelengths

Ones that lengthens wavelengths

Ones that has no effect on wavelengths

Shortens wavelengths -> Increase frequency

Lengthens wavelengths -> Decrease frequency

No effect -> Increase amplitude, decrease amplitude, increase damping, decrease damping.

Find the work w1 done on the block by the force of magnitude f1 = 60.0 n as the block moves from xi = -3.00 cm to xf = 1.00 cm
Norma-Jean [14]
By definition, the work done by a force is given by:
 W1 = F1 * d

 Where,
 F: magnitude of force
 d: distance traveled.
 Substituting values we have:
 W1 = F1 * (xf - xi)

W1 = 60 * (0.01 - (-0.03))

 W1 = 60 * (0.01 + 0.03)

W1 = 60 * (0.04)

W1 = 2.40 J

 Answer: 
 the work w1 done on the block by the force of magnitude f1 = 60.0 n is:
 W1 = 2.40 J
