<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.

<h3>What are stars?</h3>

Stars are a fixed luminous point in the sky which is a large and remote incandescent body

So therefore, the hypothetical upper limit to the mass a star can be before it self-destructs due to the massive amount of fusion it would produce is apparently as a result of Eddington luminosity

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

If the ship speed is doubled, then the power developed is 8 times the initial value.

Explanation:

ship power is roughly proportional to the cube of the speed, so

P ∝ v³
