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

Physics
2 answers:
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.

UV radiaGon having a wavelength of 120 nm falls on gold metal, to which electrons are bound by 4.82 eV. What is the maximum kine
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

K.E = 5.53 eV = 8.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

First we calculate the energy of photon:

E = hc/λ

where,

E = Energy of Photon = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength = 120 nm = 1.2 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(1.2 x 10⁻⁷ m)

E = (16.565 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)(1 eV/1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

E = 10.35 eV

Now, from Einstein's Photoelectric equation we know that:

Energy of Photon = Work Function + K.E of Electron

10.35 eV = 4.82 eV + K.E

K.E = 10.35 eV - 4.82 eV

<u>K.E = 5.53 eV = 8.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J</u>

Snowcat [4.5K]
I’m guessing is because she uses force to throw the ball, allowing the energy to move the person.

A baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg. What’s the baseballs velocity?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

<em>v=40 m/s south</em>

Explanation:

<u>Momentum </u>

It's a physical magnitude that measures the product of the mass by the velocity of a particle. Its units in the International System is kg.m/s and the formula is

p=m.v

Where m is the mass and v the velocity of the particle. If we wanted to solve for v, we have

\displaystyle v=\frac{p}{m}

The baseball has a momentum of 6.0 kg.m/s south and mass of 0.15kg, thus

\displaystyle v=\frac{6}{0.15}=40\ m/s

The velocity is directed to the south
