The separation of white light into its component colors is

Physics

Julli [10]3 years ago

<h2>Answer: dispersion</h2>

The dispersion of light occurs when a beam of white light (which is compound of many wavelengths or "colors") is refracted (the different rays of light are diverted depending on their wavelengths) in some medium, leaving their constituent colors separated.

The best known case is when a beam of white light from the sun passes through a prism, thus obtaining rays of different colors like those of the rainbow.

This phenomenom was named by Isaac Newton in the  eighteenth century, who performed the experiment explained above.

Hence, the correct option is C.

Find the kinetic energy of a 0.1-kilogram toy truck moving at the speed of 1.1 meters per second.
Viktor [21]

Answer:

0.061 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

For the toy truck in the problem, we have

m = 0.1 kg is its mass

v = 1.1 m/s is its speed

Putting the numbers into the equation, we find

K=\frac{1}{2}(0.1 kg)(1.1 m/s)^2=0.061 J

Explain the benefits of understanding sound waves properties in real life.
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The vibrations from sound waves cause our ears to send signals to our brains to create sound. The speed of sound waves will determine the sound's pitch, or how high or low something sounds. Sound waves are important because they allow us to hear important messages and emergency signals to protect ourselves.

Explanation:

I hope this helps :)
