Answer:

The magnetic quantum number (l) determines the orientation of an orbital

Explanation:

The magnetic quantum number of an electron's orbital is the spatial orientation of the electron's orbital

The magnetic quantum number, ml, specifies the orientation and number of orbitals of electrons in a subshell. The value of the magnetic quantum number is dependent on the angular momentum quantum number I with values ranging from -I to +I.

The shape of the electron's orbital is determined by the angular momentum quantum number.

To solve this exercise it is necessary to use the concepts related to Difference in Phase.

The Difference in phase is given by

$\Phi = \frac{2\pi \delta}{\lambda}$

Where

$\delta =$ Horizontal distance between two points

$\lambda =$ Wavelength

From our values we have,

$\lambda = 500nm = 5*10^{-6}m$

$\theta = 1\°$

The horizontal distance between this two points would be given for

$\delta = dsin\theta$

Therefore using the equation we have

$\Phi = \frac{2\pi \delta}{\lambda}$

$\Phi = \frac{2\pi(dsin\theta)}{\lambda}$

$\Phi = \frac{2\pi(5*!0^{-6}sin(1))}{500*10^{-9}}$

$\Phi= 1.096 rad \approx = 1.1 rad$

Therefore the correct answer is C.

Why is a spectrum of colors produced when white light passes through a prism?

Mkey [24]

Explanation: White light is all colors of light in one, so when white light passes through a prism, the light gets refracted and breaks apart into all of the colors on the visible light spectrum.
