The separation of white light into its component colors is

Physics
1 answer:
Julli [10]3 years ago
5 0
<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.

Which statement is true?
Maurinko [17]
The correct answer is<span> B.The speed of sound in air is directly proportional to the temperature of the air.

When the temperature increases so does the speed of sound. Sound is faster by </span>0.60 m/s for every higher degree in air temperature because the air density is reduced and the sound can travel faster.

A rocket initially at rest accelerates at a rate of 99. 0 meters/second2. Calculate the distance covered by the rocket if it att
creativ13 [48]

The rocket will cover 1 \times  10^3\rm \ m distance in 4. 5 s. Acceleration can be defined as the change in velocity.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration can be defined as the change in speed or the direction of the object.

From kinamatic equation:

D = v_{t} +\dfrac 12at^2

Where,

D - final velocity =  445 m/s

v_0 -  initial valocity = 0 m/s

a - acceleration = 99. 0 m/s²

t - time =  4. 50 s

Put the values in the formula,

D = 0\times  ( 4.5) + \dfrac12\times (99)(4.5)^2\\\\D = 1002 {\rm \ m}\\\\D = 1 \times  10^3\rm \ m

Therefore, the rocket will cover 1 \times  10^3\rm \ m distance in 4. 5 s.

Why is tornadoes hitting the east coast of the USA?
OLga [1]

Answer:

The outbreak of tornadoes that tore across the Gulf and the East Coast Tuesday and Wednesday was unusual for two reasons. For one thing, the severe weather encompassed a significant swath of the country. For another, winter is the least likely time for tornadic thunderstorms.

Explanation:

The outbreak of tornadoes that tore across the Gulf and the East Coast Tuesday and Wednesday was unusual for two reasons. For one thing, the severe weather encompassed a significant swath of the country. For another, winter is the least likely time for tornadic thunderstorms.

And yet tornadoes are an expected part of life in the United States—especially in the multi-state area known as Tornado Alley. (Florida, too, sees a disproportionately high number of tornadoes, because of its frequent thunderstorms.) The United States gets more tornadoes, by far, than any other place on the planet. It averages about 1,250 twisters a year. Canada, which sees about 100 tornadoes per year, is a “distant second,” according to the National Centers for Environmental Information.
