True
The half-life isn’t applicable to a first order reaction because it does not rely on the concentration of reactant present. However the 2nd order reaction is dependent on the concentration of the reactant present.
The relationship between the half life and the reactant is an inverse one.
The half life is usually reduced or shortened with an increase in the concentration and vice versa.
Dispersion angle = 0.3875 degrees.

Snell's law provides the formula that describes the refraction of light. It is:
n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)
where
n1, n2 = indexes of refraction for the different mediums
θ1, θ2 = angle of incident rays as measured from the normal to the surface.
Solving for θ2, we get
n1*sin(θ1) = n2*sin(θ2)
n1*sin(θ1)/n2 = sin(θ2)
asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
The index of refraction for air is 1.00029, So let's first calculate the angles of the red and violet rays.
Red:
asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
asin(1.00029*sin(40.80)/1.641) = θ2
asin(1.00029*0.653420604/1.641) = θ2
asin(0.398299876) = θ2
23.47193844 = θ2
Violet:
asin(n1*sin(θ1)/n2) = θ2
asin(1.00029*sin(40.80)/1.667) = θ2
asin(1.00029*0.653420604/1.667) = θ2
asin(0.39208764) = θ2
23.08446098 = θ2
So the dispersion angle is:
23.47193844 - 23.08446098 = 0.38747746 degrees.
Now to determine the width of the beam at the bottom of the glass block, we need to calculate the difference in the length of the opposite side of two right triangles. Both triangles will have a height of 11.6 cm and one of them will have an angle of 23.47193844 degrees, while the other will have an angle of 23.08446098 degrees. The idea trig function to use will be tangent, where
tan(θ) = X/11.6
11.6*tan(θ) = X
So for Red:
11.6*tan(θ) = X
11.6*tan(23.47193844) = X
11.6*0.434230136 = X
5.037069579 = X
And violet:
11.6*tan(θ) = X
11.6*tan(23.08446098) = X
11.6*0.426215635 = X
4.944101361 = X
So the width as measured from the bottom of the block is: 5.037069579 cm - 4.944101361 cm = 0.092968218 cm
The actual width of the beam after it exits the flint glass block will be thinner. The beam will exit at an angle of 40.80 degrees and we need to calculate the length of the sides of a 40.80/49.20/90 right triangle. If you draw the beams, you'll realize that:
cos(θ) = X/0.092968218
0.092968218*cos(θ) = X
0.092968218*cos(40.80) = X
0.092968218*0.756995056 = X
0.070376481 = X
So the distance between the red and violet rays is 0.07038 cm.
