Answer:

The ion has fewer electrons

Explanation:

As Rubidium forms a positive ion Rb⁺ the number of electrons becomes fewer for the atom.

A positive charge on an ion indicates that the number of protons for the atom is greater than the number of electrons.
This leaves a net positive charge on the atom.
For a negatively charged ion, the number of electrons is more than the number of protons because they have gained additional electrons.
In a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons are the same.

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

alexandr402 [8]

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.

A disk of mass m and moment of inertia of I is spinning freely at 6.00 rad/s when a second identical disk, initially not spinnin

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The angular speed of the new system is $3\,\frac{rad}{s}$ .

Explanation:

Due to the absence of external forces between both disks, the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation is observed. Since axes of rotation of each disk coincide with each other, the principle can be simplified into its scalar form. The magnitude of the Angular Momentum is equal to the product of the moment of inertial and angular speed. When both disks begin to rotate, moment of inertia is doubled and angular speed halved. That is:

$I\cdot \omega_{o} = 2\cdot I \cdot \omega_{f}$
