Answer:

There is a dependency relationship between the refractive index of each substance and the radiation wavelength.

The refractive index in a given medium is inversely proportional to the wavelength of a color.

For example:

The rays of the red color have a wavelength greater than the rays of the blue color, therefore they have a lower refractive index and consequently a light scattering less than the blue.

Snell's law :

n₂/n₁ = v₁/v₂ = λ₁ /λ₂

*n: (refractive index)

v: (speed of light propagation)

λ: (wavelength)

Force F acts between a pair of charges, q1 and q2, separated by a distance d. For each of the statements, use the drop-down menu

lora16 [44]

The initial force between the two charges is given by:

$F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}$

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 the two charges, d their separation. Let's analyze now the other situations:

1. F

In this case, q1 is halved, q2 is doubled, but the distance between the charges remains d.

So, we have:

$q_1' = \frac{q_1}{2}\\q_2' = 2 q_2\\d' = d$

So, the new force is:

$F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{(\frac{q_1}{2})(2q_2)}{d^2}=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=F$

So the force has not changed.

2. F/4

In this case, q1 and q2 are unchanged. The distance between the charges is doubled to 2d.

So, we have:

$q_1' = q_1\\q_2' = q_2\\d' = 2d$

So, the new force is:

$F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{q_1 q_2)}{(2d)^2}=\frac{1}{4} k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=\frac{F}{4}$

So the force has decreased by a factor 4.

3. 6F

In this case, q1 is doubled and q2 is tripled. The distance between the charges remains d.

So, we have:

$q_1' = 2 q_1\\q_2' = 3 q_2\\d' = d$

So, the new force is:

$F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{(2 q_1)(3 q_2)}{d^2}=6 k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=6F$

So the force has increased by a factor 6.
