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

Assume a change at the source of sound reduces the wavelength of a sound wave in air by a factor of 3.
noname [10]

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda ......(1)

(i) Here, the wavelength of a sound wave in air reduces by a factor of 3. Equation (1) becomes :

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other. So, if wavelength of a sound wave in air reduces by a factor of 3, then the frequency will increases by a factor of 3.

(ii) It remains the same.

A satellite orbits earth with a mean altitude of 361 km. If the orbit is circular, what are the satellite's time period and spee
Advocard [28]

Answer:

v = 7.69 x 10³ m/s = 7690 m/s

T = 5500 s = 91.67 min = 1.53 h

Explanation:

In order for the satellite to orbit the earth, the force of gravitation on satellite must be equal to the centripetal force acting on it:

F_{gravitation}= F_{centripetal}\\\\\frac{GM_{s} M_{E}}{r^2}  = \frac{M_{s} v^2}{r}\\\\\frac{GM_{E}}{r} = v^2\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{GM_{E}}{r} } \\\\

where,

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

Me = Mass of Earth = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

r = distance between the center of Earth and Satellite = Radius of Earth + Altitude = 6.371 x 10⁶ m + 0.361 x 10⁶ m = 6.732 x 10⁶ m

v = orbital speed = ?

Therefore,

v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67 x 10^{-11}N.m^2/kg^2)(5.97 x 10^{24} kg)}{6.732 x 10^6 m} }\\\\

<u>v = 7.69 x 10³ m/s</u>

For time period satellite completes one revolution around the earth. It means that the distance covered by satellite is equal to circumference of circle at the given altitude.

So, its orbital speed can be given as:

v = \frac{Circumference of Circle at Given Altitude}{T}\\\\v =  \frac{2\pi r}{T}\\\\

where,

T = Time Period of Satellite = ?

Therefore,

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}\\\\T = \frac{(2\pi )(6.732 x 10^6 m}{7.69 x 10^3 m/s}\\\\

<u>T = 5500 s = 91.67 min = 1.53 h</u>

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Equation for SHM can be written

V = w A cos w t        where w is the angular frequency and the velocity is a                                         maximum at t = 0

V1 = w1  A cos w1 t

V2 = w2 A cos w2 t

V2 / V1 = w2 / w1     since cos X t = 1 if t = zero

V2 / V1 = 2 pi f2 / (2 pi f1) = f2 / f1 = T1 / T2

If the velocity is twice as large the period will be 1/2 long
