How does a prism break light into its colors?

Biology
1 answer:
Vedmedyk [2.9K]3 years ago
4 0

Prisms break white light and disperse it into colors because of the different frequencies present in colors. The refractive index inside the prism separates the colors based on their frequency since every color has a different frequency. Each color that makes up a part of the white light beam gets bent slightly different, allowing us to see all of the colors in the rainbow.

Hope this helps :)

Which selection from the article BEST supports the idea that the sun is necessary to the Earth?
LenKa [72]

Answer:I believe the answer is A

Explanation:

B and C have nothing to do with how the sun helps or is a necessity. D only talks about the life span of the sun not how it is necessary for the earth. A is the only answer that makes sense because it gives examples on how the sun helps the earth as well as human kind.

How long would it take
Valentin [98]
Solution:
4.2 x 10^6 bp/10^3 bp/seconds         = 4.2 + 103 s which is 4200 seconds and equivalents to 70 minutes

In addition, assuming a pause of 2 seconds for re initiating after completing every okazaki fragment and assuming the okazaki fragments average 1000 nucleotide long.  
4.2 x 10^6 bp/10^3 bp                        = 4200 okazaki fragments                           4200 * 2 seconds                               = 8400 seconds which is 140 minutes or 2 hours 20 minutes of pauses alone.                                                                        

Therefore, overall time would be pauses plus the 70 minutes so total time of 210 minutes. Assuming that the replisome completely disassociates from the DNA after every okazaki fragment and must spend one-minute rebinding.

4200 okazaki fragments. 60 seconds rebinding time per fragment:                        4200 x 1 minute = 4200 minutes rebinding time plus 70 minutes for actual replication. 4200 minutes is 70 hours which is almost 3 days.
