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.

Each value in nature has a number part, called its____<br> and a dimension, or unit
saul85 [17]

Answer:

<u>Magnitude</u>

Explanation:

Each value in nature has a number part, called its magnitude and a dimension called its unit.

For example,

The length of an object is 10 cm. It means that 10 shows the magnitude of length and cm shows its unit.

A cylindrical storage tank has a radius of 1.35 m. When filled to a height of 3.45 m, it holds 14,014 kg of a liquid industrial
Kruka [31]

Answer:

709.93 kg/m³

Explanation:

Density: This can be defined as the ratio of the mass of a body to the volume of that body. The S.I unit of density is kg/m³

From the question above,

D = m/v.............................. Equation 1

Where D = density, m = mass, v = volume.

Note: The volume of the liquid is equal to the volume of the height occupied by the liquid in the container

Since the tank is cylindrical,

v = πr²h........................ Equation 2

Where r = radius of the the tank, h = height of the liquid in the tank

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

D = m/(πr²h)............... Equation 3

Given: m = 14014 kg, r = 1.35 m, h = 3.45 m, π = 3.14

Substitute into equation 3

D = 14014/(3.14×1.35²×3.45)

D = 14014/19.74

D = 709.93 kg/m³

If 3,600 J of work is done in 3.0 s, what is the power?
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

1,200 watts

Explanation:

1 watt = 1 Joule (J) of work / second

So, 3600 Joules of work / 3 seconds is:

3600 J / 3 seconds = 1,200 watts

A typical helicopter has four blades that rotate at 334 rpm and have a total kinetic energy of 4.55 105 J. What is the magnitude
djyliett [7]

Answer:

the magnitude of the total angular momentum of the blades is <em>743.71 kg·m²</em>

Explanation:

Converting the angular speed into radians per second:

ω = 334 rpm · (2π rad / 1 rev) · (1 min / 60 s)

ω = 34.98 rad/s

The rotational kinetic energy of the blades is given by:

EK = 1/2 I ω²

where

  • I is the moment of inertia
  • ω is the angular speed

Therefore, rearranging the above equation, we get:

1/2 I ω² = EK

I ω² = 2 EK

I = 2(EK) / ω²

I = 2(4.55 × 10⁵ J) / (34.98 rad/s)²

<em>I = 743.71 kg·m²</em>

<em></em>

Therefore, the magnitude of the total angular momentum of the blades is <em>743.71 kg·m²</em>.

A. Draw the electric field lines around a negative charge.
Alborosie
<h2>a. Answer:</h2>

We use Electric field lines for visualizing electric  fields, so this helps us to see the problem more real. So an electric field line is an imaginary  line or curve drawn through a region of space such that the tangent at any point comes from the direction of the electric-field vector at that point. The electric field lines around a negative charge is shown in the First figure below.

<h2>b. Answer:</h2>

Electric forces can be found by using the Coulomb Law's that states <em>that The magnitude of the electric force between two point charges is directly proportional  to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square  of the distance between them. </em>This can be expressed as follows:

F=k\frac{\left | q_{1}q_{2} \right |}{r^2} \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ k=9\times 10^9Nm^2/c^2 \\ \\ q_{1}=0.00150 C \ and \ q_{2}=0.00240 C \\ \\ r=0.900 m

Then:

F=9\times 10^9\frac{\left | 0.00150 \times 0.00240 \right |}{(0.900)^2} \\ \\ \therefore \boxed{F=40000N}

This force is repulsive because the two charges are positive and recall that two positive charges or two negative charges repel each other while a positive charge  and a negative charge attract each other.

<h2>C. Answer:</h2>

From the statement, we have two charged objects. Let's say that this charges are:

q_{1} \ and \ q_{2}

If the amount of charge on one of the objects is tripled, let's say this is the charge q_{2}, then the new charge is:

q_{N}=3q_{2}

In the formula of Coulomb:

F=k\frac{\left | q_{1}q_{N} \right |}{r^2} \\ \\ \therefore F=k\frac{\left | q_{1}(3q_{2}) \right |}{r^2} \\ \\ \therefore \boxed{F=3k\frac{\left | q_{1}q_{2} \right |}{r^2}}

<em>The conclusion is that if the amount of charge on one of the objects is tripled, the electric force between two charged objects is also tripled</em>

<h2>d. Answer:</h2>

Let's use the Coulomb's Law again to solve this problem. We want to know how the electric force between two charged objects changes if the charges are moved closer together:

F=k\frac{\left | q_{1}q_{N} \right |}{r^2}

<em>By saying that the charges are moved closer together, we want to express that r becomes smaller. Since r is in the denominator, this implies that the electric force between these two charged objects becomes greater.</em>

<h2>e. Answer:</h2>

From the figure, we can see a metal sphere on a stand. There we have both positive and negative charges. We can say that the positive charge of this sphere is +10q and the negative and the negative charge is -10q. Since the electric charge is conserved, then the algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant. In conclusion, <em>the sphere has no net charge.</em>

<h2>f. Answer:</h2>

Here we want to know how the negative charges in the same sphere are redistributed when a positively charged rod is brought near it. Therefore, positive charge on rod  repels positive charges on the sphere, creating  zones of negative and  positive charge as indicated in the second Figure.
