Answer:
5. dispersion
6. 49.8°
Explanation:
5. Dispersion is the name given to the phenomenon of light of different wavelengths being bent differently. A rainbow is the result of light from a point source (the sun) being spread out by wavelength (color), a nice example of dispersion.
___
6. n = 1.31 is the ratio of the sine of the angle of refraction to the sine of the angle of incidence (for light passing to a medium of n = 1). When the angle of refraction is 90°, the angle of incidence is the "critical angle." So, ...
sin(90°)/sin(critical) = 1.31
critical angle = arcsin(1/1.31) ≈ 49.8°
0.345 m.
<h3>Explanation</h3>
The wavelength is the distance that the wave travels in each cycle. The wave travels 345 meters in each second. Let the wavelength of this wave be
. That's the distance the wave travels in one cycle.
The frequency of the sound wave is 1 000 Hz, meaning that there are 1 000 cycles in each second. The wave travels a distance of 1 000 wavelengths in one second. That would be a distance of
.
From the speed of the wave, the wave travels 345 meters in one second. In other words,
.
.

A rainbow. Dispersion is the splitting of radiation into it's different wavelengths.
