<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.

When two or more capacitors are connected in series across a potential difference:

34kurt

Answer:

A) and B) are correct.

Explanation:

Let's take a look at the attached picture. Now

The total voltage across both capacitors is the same as the sum of the voltage from each device, that statement is true for any electrical device connected in series. So a) is TRUE

The equivalent capacitance is going to be: $\frac{1}{C_{total}}=\frac{1}{C_1} +\frac{1}{C_2}$

And that value can be mathematically proven that is always less than any of the values of each capacitor. So b is TRUE

And through both capacitors flow the same current, but the amount of charge depends on the value of the capacitors, so only could be the same if the capacitors are the same value. Otherwise, don't. C) not always, so FALSE

In your own words, explain how the red shift in the spectrum of objects in space provide evidence for the Big Bang Theory.

kondaur [170]

The evidence that the universe is expanding comes with something called the red shift<span> of light. Light travels to Earth from other galaxies. As the light from that galaxy gets closer to Earth, the distance between Earth and the galaxy increases, which causes the wavelength of that light to get longer.</span>
