Answer:

It is not a property of light. It is your eyes and brain.

Specifically, the three kinds of cone cells in our eye that are sensitive to different ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. The fact that there are three means that color is three dimensional, and is the reason the pure colors form a circle even though the spectrum of wavelengths is linear.

Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum; light waves of different frequencies and wavelengths are distinguished as colors by the human eye. A prism can separate the colors of white light (dispersion) because different frequencies of light have different refractive indices for a given material.

Why does a lunar eclipse last for a few hours whereas a solar eclipse only lasts for a few minutes?

Aneli [31]

Answer:

The type and length of a lunar eclipse depend on the Moon's proximity to either node of its orbit. ... A total lunar eclipse can last up to nearly 2 hours, while a total solar eclipse lasts only up to a few minutes at any given place, due to the smaller size of the Moon's shadow.

A long string is pulled so that the tension in it increases by a factor of four. If the change in length is negligible, by what

rusak2 [61]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to wave velocity as a function of the tension and linear mass density. This is

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

Here

v = Wave speed

T = Tension

$\mu$ = Linear mass density

From this proportion we can realize that the speed of the wave is directly proportional to the square of the tension

$v \propto \sqrt{T}$

Therefore, if there is an increase in tension of 4, the velocity will increase the square root of that proportion

$v \propto \sqrt{4} = 2$

The factor that the wave speed change is 2.

An output is a Push or pull _________________________ on the object

Ugo [173]

Answer:

The input force that you use on an inclined plane is the force with which you push or pull an object. The output force is the force that you would need to lift the object without the inclined plane. This force is equal to the weight of the object.
