Why is a spectrum of colors produced when white light passes through a prism?

Physics

shutvik [7]2 years ago

Answer:

Because each color is refracted differently, each bends at a different angle, resulting in a fanning out and separation of white light into the colors of the spectrum.

The spectrum is produced because different colours of light travel at different speeds in glass.


The spectrum is produced because different colours of light travel at different speeds in glass. Red light is slowed down least by glass and is refracted least. Violet light is slowed down most by glass and is refracted most. As a result, the coloured light spreads out to form a spectrum of white light.

Consider the f(x) = cos(x-C) function shown in the figure in blue color, where 0 ≤ C ≤ 2π. What is the value of parameter C for
klemol [59]

The value of parameter C for the function in the figure is 2.

<h3>What is amplitude of a wave?</h3>

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of the wave. It can also be described at the maximum upward displacement of a wave curve.

f(x) = Acos(x - C)

where;

  • A is amplitude of the wave
  • C is phase difference of the wave

<h3>What is angular frequency of a wave?</h3>

Angular frequency is  the angular displacement of any element of the wave per unit time.

From the blue colored graph; at y = 1, x = -2 cm

1 = cos(2 - C)

(2 - C) = cos^(1)

(2 - C) = 0

C = 2

Thus, the value of parameter C for the function in the figure is 2.

Under what condition will a glass lens placed in a transparent medium becomes invisible??
Viktor [21]

Answer:

A lens placed in a transparent liquid becomes invisible because when refractive index of the material of the lens is equal to the refractive index of the liquid in which lens is placed under this condition no bending of light takes place when it travels from liquid to the lens, so both will start behaving like both are same things.

Explanation:

hope it helps :))

Consider the motion of a 4.00-kg particle that moves with potential energy given by U(x) = + a) Suppose the particle is moving w
gtnhenbr [62]

Correct question:

Consider the motion of a 4.00-kg particle that moves with potential energy given by

U(x) = \frac{(2.0 Jm)}{x}+ \frac{(4.0 Jm^2)}{x^2}

a) Suppose the particle is moving with a speed of 3.00 m/s when it is located at x = 1.00 m. What is the speed of the object when it is located at x = 5.00 m?

b) What is the magnitude of the force on the 4.00-kg particle when it is located at x = 5.00 m?

Answer:

a) 3.33 m/s

b) 0.016 N

Explanation:

a) given:

V = 3.00 m/s

x1 = 1.00 m

x = 5.00

u(x) = \frac{-2}{x} + \frac{4}{x^2}

At x = 1.00 m

u(1) = \frac{-2}{1} + \frac{4}{1^2}

= 4J

Kinetic energy = (1/2)mv²

= \frac{1}{2} * 4(3)^2

= 18J

Total energy will be =

4J + 18J = 22J

At x = 5

u(5) = \frac{-2}{5} + \frac{4}{5^2}

= \frac{4-10}{25} = \frac{-6}{25} J

= -0.24J

Kinetic energy =

\frac{1}{2} * 4Vf^2

= 2Vf²

Total energy =

2Vf² - 0.024

Using conservation of energy,

Initial total energy = final total energy

22 = 2Vf² - 0.24

Vf² = (22+0.24) / 2

Vf = \sqrt{frac{22.4}{2}

= 3.33 m/s

b) magnitude of force when x = 5.0m

u(x) = \frac{-2}{x} + \frac{4}{x^2}

\frac{-du(x)}{dx} = \frac{-d}{dx} [\frac{-2}{x}+ \frac{4}{x^2}

= \frac{2}{x^2} - \frac{8}{x^3}

At x = 5.0 m

\frac{2}{5^2} - \frac{8}{5^3}

F = \frac{2}{25} - \frac{8}{125}

= 0.016N
