Answer:

option A

Explanation:

When white light is incident on prism it bends and dispersed into different colors.

According to Cauchy equation, refractive index is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light.

wavelength of the light in decreasing order

orange > yellow > green > blue

wavelength of the orange light is the highest.

Hence, the refractive index  of orange will be lowest.

The correct answer is option A

An electric fan is running on HIGH. After fan has been running for 1.3 minutes, the LOW button is pushed. The fan slows down to
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

    wo = 18.75 rev / s

Explanation:

This is an exercise in endowment kinematics, it indicates that the final angular velocity is w_f = 109 rad / s, the time to reach this velocity is t = 1.87 s and the deceleration a = 4.7 rad / s²

         w_f = w₀ - a t

         w₀ = w_f + a t

         w₀ = 109 + 4.7 1.87

         w₀ = 117.8 rad / s

let's reduce to revolutions / s

         w₀ = 117.8 rad / s (1 rev / 2pi rad)

         w₀ = 18.75 rev / s

A coin is thrown with a velocity of 0 m/s down a dry well and hits bottom in 1.2s, what’s the depth of the well?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The well is 7.1 meters deep.

Explanation:

The formula to use here is the distance in a uniformly accelerated motion:

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t+d_0

where d stands for distance, t for time, a for acceleration, v0 and d0 for initial velocity and distance, respectively. Since the initial distance and velocity are both zero, we are left with the first term. The coin is in free fall and so it is accelerated by gravity:

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}9.8\frac{m}{s^2}1.2^2s^2=7.1m

The well is 7.1 meters deep.

If you could shine a very powerful flashlight beam toward the Moon, estimate the diameter of the beam when it reaches the Moon.
grin007 [14]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the Rayleigh Criterion (Angular resolution)criterion. This conceptos describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye, to distinguish small details of an object, thereby making it a major determinant of image resolution.  By definition is defined as:

\theta = 1.22\frac{\lambda}{d}

Where,

\lambda= Wavelength

d = Width of the slit

\theta= Angular resolution

Through the arc length we can find the radius, which would be given according to the length and angle previously described.

The radius of the beam on the moon is

r = l\theta

Relacing \theta

r = l(\frac{1.22\lambda}{d})

r = 1.22\frac{l\lambda}{d}

Replacing with our values we have that,

r = 1.22*(\frac{(384*10^3km)(\frac{1000m}{1km})(550*10^{-9}m)}{7*10^{{-2}}})

r = 3680.91m

Therefore the diameter of the beam on the moon is

d = 2r

d = 2 * (3690.91)

d = 7361.8285m

Hence, the diameter of the beam when it reaches the moon is 7361.82m
