Answer and Explanation:

The light that comes from the sun is called white light. Actually white light is a mixture of lights of different colors. When we look at the rainbow we can see the colors that make up the white light. This phenomenon, known as dispersion, occurs when a ray of composite light is refracted (refraction) in some medium, and its constituent colors are separated.

I attached you I picture where you can see this process

Basically, when the light passes through a glass prism, the different wavelengths that make up the beam of light travel inside it at different speeds and curl differently when entering and leaving resulting in a beam deviated from the initial direction and with its separate components.

Explanation:

<u>Temperature Scales </u>

There are three temperature scales in the modern sciences: Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin. Fahrenheit temperature scale assigns the value 32 for the freezing point of water and 212 for the boiling point of water and divides that interval into 180 parts. Celsius scale has a similar reference, giving 0 to the freezing point of water and 100 for the boiling point of water. The conversion between them is as follows

$\displaystyle F=\frac{9}{5}C+32$

$K=C+273.15$

The coldest temperature yet measured on the surface of any body in the solar system is -235°C. Converting to Fahrenheit

$\displaystyle F=\frac{9}{5}(-235)+32=-391^oF$

$K=-235+273.15=38.15^oK$

Answer:

The kinetic molecular theory of matter asserts that: Matter is made up of particles that are continually moving. All particles contain energy, however the energy fluctuates depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in. This in turn decides whether the material exists in the solid, liquid, or gaseous form.
