Explain properties and importance of light and how it separates into colours

Physics
1 answer:
IRISSAK [1]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

White light can be separated into different colors using a special lens called a prism. As visible light passes from air into the glass, the change in medium causes a change in direction and speed. Refraction causing the separation of white light into its various color wavelengths is called dispersion.

A uranium ion and an iron ion are separated by a distance of =61.10 nm. The uranium atom is singly ionized; the iron atom is dou
scoray [572]

Answer:

Explanation:

Charge on uranium ion = charge of a single electron

= 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

charge on doubly ionised iron atom = charge of 2 electron

= 2 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C = 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Let the required distance from uranium ion be d .

force on electron at distance d from uranium ion

= 9 x 10⁹ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ / r²

force on electron at distance 61.10 x 10⁻⁹ - r from iron  ion

= 9 x 10⁹ x 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ / (61.10 x 10⁻⁹ - r )²

For equilibrium ,

9 x 10⁹ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ / r² = 9 x 10⁹ x 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ / (61.10 x 10⁻⁹ - r )²

2 d² = (61.10 x 10⁻⁹ - r )²

1.414 r = 61.10 x 10⁻⁹ - r

2.414 r = 61.10 x 10⁻⁹

r = 25.31 nm .

What net force is necessary to give a 2 kg mass that is initially at rest an acceleration of 5 m/s2?
QveST [7]

Answer:

<h2>10 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 2 × 5

We have the final answer as

<h3>10 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

A man weighing 750 n and a woman weighing 500 n have the same momentum. what is the ratio of the man's kinetic energy km to that
miss Akunina [59]
Because weight W = M g, the ratio of weights equals the ratio of masses.

(M_m g)/ (M_w g) = [ (p^2 Man )/ (2 K_man)] / [ (p^2 Woman )/ (2 K_woman)

but p's are equal, so

K_m/K_m = (M_w g)/(M_m g) = W_woman / W_man = 450/680 = 0.662

The different molecules that make up the air in a room have, on average the same kinetic energy. How does the speed of the diffe
prisoha [69]

Answer:

speed of molecule ∝  1/mass of molecule.

Explanation:

The velocities of the molecules depend on their masses. That's because if the molecules are large in size, their velocity is slower. Therefore their velocity is quicker when their size is small, since the molecules can move faster.

Therefore , it can be written as

speed of molecule ∝  1/mass of molecule.
