Which scientist first discovered that white light is a mixture of a rainbow spectrum of light rays?

Physics

Zielflug [23.3K]3 years ago

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.

Equal masses of he and ne are placed in a sealed container. What is the partial pressure of he if the total pressure in the cont
EastWind [94]

Answer:

6 atm.

Explanation:

Let the mass of both be m

Then moles of He = m/ 4

Moles of Ne = m/ 20

mole fraction of He = Moles of He/ Total moles = m/4/ (m/4 + m/20) = 0.25 m/0.3m = 0.83

Pressure of He = Mole fraction×total pressure = 0.83 × 6 atm = 5 atm

a waves amplitude is 0.5 meters. If the amplitude is increased to 1 metro, how does its energy change
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The energy becomes 4 times greater.

Explanation:

We know that the energy of a wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude

E ∝ Amplitude^2

Since the original amplitude = 0.5 m

and the new amplitude becomes = 1 m

We are doubling the amplitude. This means that the new energy will be affected by a factor of 4

E_new  ∝ (2*Amplitude)^2  =

E_new ∝ 4*(Amplitude)^2  

E_new  = 4*E
