What causes dispersion of light?​

Physics
1 answer:
AysviL [449]3 years ago
7 0
Dispersion occurs due to the different degrees of refraction experienced by different colours of light. Light of different colours may travel with the same speed in a vacuum, but they travel at different speeds in some refracting medium. The speed of violet light is relatively lower than that of red light.

if the forces acting upon an object are balanced, then an object must a) be moving. b) be accelerating. c) be beginning to slow
Dennis_Churaev [7]

The correct answer to the question is : D) Be moving at a constant velocity.

EXPLANATION:

As per Newton's first laws of motion, every body continues to be  at state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless and until it is compelled by some external unbalanced forces acting on it.

Hence, it is the unbalanced force which changes the state of rest or motion of a body. Balanced force is responsible for keeping the body to be either in static equilibrium or in dynamic equilibrium.

As per the options given in the question, the last one is true for an object under balanced forces.

A 4-kg toy car with a speed of 5 m/s collides head-on with a stationary 1-kg car. After the collision, the cars are locked toget
mihalych1998 [28]

Kinetic energy lost in collision is 10 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given,

Mass, m_{1} = 4 kg

Speed, v_{1} = 5 m/s

m_{2} = 1 kg

v_{2} = 0

Speed after collision = 4 m/s

Kinetic energy lost, K×E = ?

During collision, momentum is conserved.

Before collision, the kinetic energy is

\frac{1}{2} m1 (v1)^2 + \frac{1}{2} m2(v2)^2

By plugging in the values we get,

KE = \frac{1}{2} * 4 * (5)^2 + \frac{1}{2} * 1 * (0)^2\\\\KE = \frac{1}{2} * 4 * 25 + 0\\\\

K×E = 50 J

Therefore, kinetic energy before collision is 50 J

Kinetic energy after collision:

KE = \frac{1}{2} (4 + 1) * (4)^2 + KE(lost)

KE = 40J + KE(lost)

Since,

Initial Kinetic energy = Final kinetic energy

50 J = 40 J + K×E(lost)

K×E(lost) = 50 J - 40 J

K×E(lost) = 10 J

Therefore, kinetic energy lost in collision is 10 J.

To initiate a nuclear reaction, an experimental nuclear physicist wants to shoot a proton into a 5.50-fm-diameter 12C nucleus. T
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

kinetic energy required = 1.80 MeV

= 1.8 x 10⁶ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

= 2.88 x 10⁻¹³ J

If v be the velocity of proton

1/2 x mass of proton x v² = 2.88 x 10⁻¹³

= .5 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x v² = 2.88 x 10⁻¹³

v² = 3.45 x 10¹⁴

v = 1.86 x 10⁷ m /s

If V be the potential difference required

V x e = kinetic energy . where e is charge on proton .

V x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 2.88 x 10⁻¹³

V = 1.8 x 10⁶ volt .
