Newton also understood that white light can be separated into its components because each ray of color is deviated by the glass of the prism by a different amount. He realized, for example, that red light is consistently less deviated than violet light.

The type of function that describes the amplitude of damped oscillatory motion is _______. The type of function that describes t

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

exponential

Explanation:

type of function that describes the amplitude of damped oscillatory motion is exponential because as we know that here function is

y = A × $e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}$ × cos(ωt + ∅ ) ..................................... ( 1 )

here function A × $e^{\frac{-bt}{2m}}$ is amplitude

as per equation ( 1 )it is exponential

so that we can say that amplitude of damped oscillatory motion is exponential

1) For a positive point charge, the lines radiate ………. . While, for a negative point charge, the lines converge …………. .

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

For a positive point charge, the lines radiate <u>outwards</u>, while for a negative point charge, the lines converge<u> inwards.</u>

Explanation:

A single point charges produces an electric field which has a radial shape.The sign of a charge determines the the direction of the field. In Positive charge have the direction of field is out of the charge and for negative charge, the direction of field is towards the charge.This behavior is in relation to how a positive test charge will experience in a field.
