A) Sunlight basically consists of a combination of light of different wavelengths. Each of these wavelengths correspond to each of the colors of the rainbow. For example, red light has the longest wavelength. This is followed by orange, then yellow, green, blue and indigo. Violet has the shortest wavelength. These wavelengths (750 nm to 400 nm) constitute the visible colors. All these light components of different wavelengths combine together to become the color white.
b) When this sunlight passes through droplets of rain, it gets refracted and that is what breaks up the white light into individual colors of the rainbow, just how light passing through a glass prism gets broken down into its individual seven colors.
c) Different objects have the ability to absorb different wavelengths of light. For example, glass absorbs light of all wavelengths except those between 560-520nm, which corresponds to green light. So it reflects the green light and thus, our eyes see grass as green in color.
d) Light of wavelength below 400 nm (ultraviolet) and above 750nm (Infrared) are not visible. However, they exist in the sun's radiation. Ultraviolet rays are very harmful and responsible for causing sunburn and some types of skin tumors. Infrared light is also harmful and can cause premature wrinkling of skin.

If it's a mechanical wave, then its speed depends on the physical characteristics of the medium.
If it's an electromagnetic wave, then its speed depends on the
electrical characteristics of the medium.
Either way, the properties of the medium determine the wave speed.
You want to change the speed ? You have to change the properties
of the medium.
Answer:
The change in the mass of box = 0.01 kg
Volume of air in the polythene bag = Volume of air in the rigid box
Therefore, Volume of air in the box = 0.008 m^3
Now, Density = Mass/ Volume
=> Density = 0.01 / 0.008 = 1.25 Kg / m^3
