<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 separation of two points on the Moon’s surface that can just be resolved by the 200 in. (= 5.1 m) telescope at Mount Pa

rewona [7]

Answer:

The separation of the 2 points should be 50.0 meters.

Explanation:

According to Rayleigh's scattering criteria the angular separation between 2 points to be resolved equals

$\theta =1.22\cdot \frac{\lambda }{D}$

Applying the given values we get

$\theta =1.22\cdot \frac{550\times 10^{-9} }{5.1}=0.1316\times 10^{-6}rads$

thus the linear separation equals $L=\theta \times Distance$

Applying the given values we get

$L=0.1316\times 10^{-6} \times 3.8\times 10^{5}\times 10^{3}meters\\\\\therefore L=50.00metes$

What is the difference between wavelength and frequency

Alexus [3.1K]

There is a big difference between wavelength and frequency. Wavelength is the length between each crest of the wave. Frequency is the interval of how often there is a wave.
