c A ray of light is divided into its constituent colors by the first prism (left), and the resulting bundle of colred rays is reconstituted into white light by the second. Our modern understanding of light and color begins with Isaac Newton (1642-1726) and a series of experiments that he publishes in 1672.

Answer:

The correct answer is Isaac Newton , option C

Explanation:

During the 1660’s, Newton, an English physicist, started some experiments with sunlight and prisms to know more about the optic field. He passed sunlight through a prism and separated the light beam into various colours. Once he did it, he discovered and understood that this could happened because every different ray of colour is diverged by the glassy prism by a different amount. Consequently, he could conclude that white light passes through a translucent medium, such as air, into another like glass, the components are glanced the first-time up t their colour and when they go back to air they do it again. This created the spectrum with the rainbow colours.

Throughout the problem, take the speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s . Part A Consider a pipe of length 80.0 cm open at both end
White raven [17]

Answer:

the lowest frequency f of the sound wave is 214.375 Hz

Explanation:

The computation of the lowest frequency f of the sound wave is shown below;

Length = L= 80 cm

= 0.8 m

V = 343 m/s (sound speed in air )

Now

V1 = n V ÷ 2 L

= 1 × 343 ÷ 2 × 0.8

V1 = 214.375 Hz

Hence, the lowest frequency f of the sound wave is 214.375 Hz

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

Explain the process of why the balloon is attracted to the wall, and why electrons are not transferred in this process. Is the w
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The process by which the balloon is attracted and possibly sticks to the wall is known as static electricity which is the attraction or repulsion between electric charges which are not free to move.

The wall is an insulator.

Explanation:

When a balloon is blown and tied off, and then the balloon is rubbed on the woolly object once in one direction, and the side that was rubbed against the wool is brought near a wall and then released, it is observed that the balloon is attracted to and sticks to the wall. The above observation is due to static electricity.

Static electricity refers to electric charges that are not free to move or that are static. One of the means of generating such charges is by friction. When the balloon is rubbed on the woollen material, electrons are given away to the balloon's surface. Since the balloon is an insulator (materials which do not allow electricity to pass through them easily), the electrons are not free to move. When the balloon is brought near to a wall, there is a rearrangement of the charges present on the wall. Negative charges on the wall move farther away while the positive charges on the wall are attracted to the electrons on the balloon's surface. Because the wall is also an insulator, the charges are not discharged immediately. Therefore, this attraction between opposite charges as well as the static nature of the charges results in the balloon sticking to the wall.

A bike rider was moving to the right at a constant speed. Suddenly the wind then starts blowing against her with 3 N of force to
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

This question can be better understood when discussed using the Newton's first law of motion which states that an object would continue to move with a uniform speed (in a straight line) unless acted upon by an external force. What happens here (in the question) is that the bike rider would have continued moving at a constant speed (to the right) if not for the opposing force of the wind that acted against her (to the left). <u>This wind/force would cause her speed to reduce or slow down (as posited by the law)</u>.

Capacitance = k x ε° x area / separation 
ε° = 8.854 10^-12 F/ m 
k = 2.4max 
average k = 0.78 / 1.27 * 2.4 +(1.27- 0.78) / 1.27 * 1 = 1.474 + 0.386 = 1.86 
(61.4 % separation k = 2.4 --- 38.6 % k = 1 air --- average k = 0.614 * 2.34 + 0.386 * 1 = 1.86

separation = 1.27 cm 0.0127 m 

C = 1.86 * 8.854 10^-12 * 0.0145 / 0.0127 = 18.8 pF
