Which physical phenomenon is illustrated by the fact that the prism has different refractive indices for different colors

Physics
1 answer:
alexandr402 [8]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The incoming white light is composed of light of different colors,

Since these different colors have different refractive indices they are refracted at different angles from one another.

The output light is then separated by color creating a color spectrum.

Since n is greater for shorter wavelengths  (violet colors) these wavelengths are refracted thru the larger angles.

How do I learn the basics of physics
Helen [10]
Physics is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force.
Matter is generally considered to be anything that has mass and volume.
Scientific laws and theories express the general truths of nature and the body of knowledge they encompass. These laws of nature are rules that all natural processes appear to follow.

List at least three factors that would cause an organism to migrate one habitat to another
GalinKa [24]

1. Escaping a predator – this increases its chances of survival. It could move to an area with low predator population

2. Finding food – food might get scarce in the current habitat and hence increased competition in the community. Finding another habitat with a higher availability food will increase survival

3. To find a mate/ to reproduce – reproduction in an intrinsic compulsion in all animals as a means to perpetuate their own gene. Solitary animals, such as the leopard, leave their habitat to find a mate and reproduce.

An electric fan has a low speed of 3.00 rotations per second and a medium speed of 9.00 rotations per second. The fan rotates co
Korolek [52]

Answer:

α=9.42 rad/s    T= 0.014 rad/s^{2}

Explanation:

Low speed= Wi=3 rps = 3*2*π rad/s= 6π rad/sec

Medium speed= Wf= 9 rps= 9*2*π rad/sec= 18 rad/sec

time= t= 4 sec

Angular acceleration=α=\frac{Wf-Wi}{t}

⇒α=(18 π - 6 π)/4

⇒α=9.42 rad/s

b).

Rotational inertia= I = 1.5*10^-3 kg-m^2

Net torque= T = I*α = (1.5*10^-3) * (9.42) rad/s^2

⇒T= 0.014 rad/s^2

A 0.22 kg air track glider moving at 0.60 m/s a collides elastically into a 0.44 kg glider at rest. After collision the 0.22 kg
motikmotik
The glider collides elastically  an another glider at rest, in this case we have the coservation of quantity of movement 

m1 v1  + m2 v2 = m1V1 + m2 V2
v is the velocity before the shock, V the velocity after the shock
m1=0.22
v1=0.60m/s
m2=0.44
V1=-0.20m/s
remark that <span>0.44 kg glider is initially at rest, so v2= 0
the equation above can be written  </span><span>m1 v1  = m1V1 + m2 V2 ( because v2=0 at rest)
</span><span>m1 v1  = m1V1 + m2 V2 implies  V2= (m1v1 -m1V1) / m2
</span>
V2=0.22x0.60 -0.22x (-0.20) ] / 0.44= 0.4m/s
