<h2>Answer: Prism</h2>

In the eighteenth century Isaac Newton found out that <u>when a beam of light from the Sun, passes trhough a prism is decomposed in many different colors</u>. He named this phenomenom as dispersion of light.

This phenomenom 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.  

Therefore:

Determine the voltage ratings of the high-and-low voltage windings for this connection and the MVA rating of the autotransformer
SIZIF [17.4K]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

The High Voltage Rating for Auto - Transformer is 86kV

The  Low Voltage Rating for Auto - Transformer is 78kV

The MVA rating is 268.75MVA

b

The efficiency is 99.4%

Explanation:

From the question  we are given are given that

 The transformer has Mega Volt Amp rating of 25MVA

                          The frequency is 60-Hz

                           Voltage rating 8.0kV : 78kV

   The short circuit test gives : 453kV,321A,77.5kW

   The open circuit test gives : 8.0kV, 39.6A, 86.2kW

This can be represented on a diagram shown on the second uploaded image

From this diagram we can deduce that the The High Voltage Rating for Auto - Transformer is 86kV and the  Low Voltage Rating for Auto - Transformer is 78kV

 Now to obtain the current flowing through the 8kV  coil in the Auto-transformer we have

             \frac{25 \ Mega \ Volt\ Ampere }{8\ Kilo Volt}

The volt will cancel each other

             \frac{25*10^6}{8*10^3} =  3125\ A

 Now to obtain the required MVA rating we would multiply the value of Power obtained during the open circuit test by the value of the current calculated.we are making use of the power obtain during open circuit testing because the transformer at this point is not under any load.

MVA \ rating = (86*10^3)(3125) =268.75

We need to understand that Iron losses is due to open circuit test which has power = 86.2kW

While copper loss is due to short circuit test which has power = 77.5kW

The the current flowing through the secondary coil I_2 as shown in the circuit diagram can be obtained as

       I_2 = \frac{25*10^6}{78*10^3} =320.52 A \approx 321

Now the efficiency can be obtained as thus

           \frac{(operational \ MVA )*(Power factor \pf))}{(operational\  MVA (power factor pf) + copper loss + Iron loss)}*\frac{100}{1}

             =99.941%

Which of the following statements correctly describe the various forms of EM radiation listed above?A) They have different wavel
Aleksandr [31]

Answer: A and B

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiations are examples of electromagnetic waves with increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength in the following order radiowaves - infrared waves - visible lights - ultraviolet rays- x-rays - gamma rays.

They did not require material medium for their propagation.

The statement above shows that EM radiations possesses different wavelengths and frequency.
