How are different wavelengths of light affected by entering a prism?

1 answer:

3 0

What happens in the prism stays in the prism. When the light emerges, it has the same frequency and wavelength as when it entered. The prism permanently alters nothing but the angle.

1 A 75-g ball is projected from a height of 1.6 m with a horizontal velocity of 2 m/s and bounces from a 400-g smooth plate supp

Tanzania [10]

Answer with explanation:

We are given that

Mass of ball, $m_1=$ 75 g= $\frac{75}{1000}=0075kg$

1 kg=1000 g

Height, $h_1=1.6 m$

$h_2=0.6 m$

Horizontal velocity, $v_x=2 m/s$

Mass of plate $m_2=400 g=\frac{400}{1000}=0.4 kg$

a.Initial velocity of plate, $u_2=0$

Velocity before impact= $u_1=\sqrt{2gh_1}=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 1.6}=5.6m/s$

Where $g=9.8 m/s^2$

Velocity after impact, $v_1=\sqrt{2gh_2}=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.6}=3.4m/s$

According to law of conservation of momentum

$m_1u_1+m_2u_1=-m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

Substitute the values

$0.075\times 5.6+0=-0.075\times 3.4+0.4v_2$

$0.4v_2=0.075\times 5.6+0.075\times 3.4$

$v_2=\frac{0.075\times 5.6+0.075\times 3.4}{0.4}=1.69 m/s$

Velocity of plate=1.69 m/s

b.Initial energy= $\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_x+m_1gh_1=\frac{1}{2}(0.075)(2^2)+0.075\times 9.8\times 1.6=1.326 J$

Final energy= $\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_x+m_1gh_2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v^2_2$

Final energy= $\frac{1}{2}(0.075)(2^2)+0.075\times 9.8\times 0.6+\frac{1}{2}(0.4)(1.69)^2=1.162 J$

Energy lost due to compact=Initial energy-final energy=1.326-1.162=0.164 J

A wave with a period of 0.008 second has a frequency of?

tatyana61 [14]

The formula for frequency is f = 1/T where f is frequency and T is period in seconds.
You have you period which is 0.008s and that is all you will need to solve or frequency in a wave:
f = 1/2
f = 1/0.008s
f = 125Hz

Does Pepsi have more carbonation than coke

horsena [70]

Coke has more fizz than Pepsi, because Coke has more carbonation in it. Pepsi contains more sugar (2 more tablespoons) than Coke, so it tastes slightly sweeter to many people.
