Answer:

Explanation:

As the full spectrum of visible light travels through a prism, the wavelengths separate into the colors of the rainbow because each color is a different wavelength. Violet has the shortest wavelength, at around 380 nanometers, and red has the longest wavelength, at around 700 nanometers.

Answer:

it’s because the red light rays have the lowest frequency and the highest wavelength value.

true or false, based on the color of the particles, a mixture can be classified as a solution, a suspension, or a colloid

expeople1 [14]

False, you pass a light through a mixture If the light bounces off the particles, you will see the light shine through and you have a colloid mixture

When does a ball that is thrown vertically upwards reach its maximum speed?

ladessa [460]

As soon as you let go of it it is at its max speed because gravity is constantly pulling it down

If the frequency of sound is doubled, how will its speed change? how will its wavelength change?

eimsori [14]

From the given equation we can deduce what changes will occur if the frequency of the sound is doubled

V= f (λ)

Speed = frequency. Wavelength

When the frequency is doubled, speed will not change. Because speed depends on factors like temperature, air pressure, density of the gas. Since all these factors are unchanged thus speed will remain unchanged

Frequency is the number of waves produced per second. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional .Thus, if the frequency is doubled the wavelength would be halved.

A cue ball, moving with 9.0 N·s of momentum strikes the nine-ball at rest. The nine-ball moves off with 2.0 N·s in the original

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

P = 7.28 N.s

Explanation:

given,

initial momentum of cue ball in x- direction,P₁ = 9 N.s

momentum of nine ball in x- direction, P₂ = 2 N.s

momentum in perpendicular direction i.e. y - direction,P'₂ = 2 N.s

momentum of the cue after collision = ?

using conservation of momentum

in x- direction

P₁ + p = x + P₂

p is the initial momentum of the nine balls which is equal to zero.

9 + 0 = x + 2

x = 7 N.s

momentum in x-direction.

equating along y-direction

P'₁ + p = y + P'₂

0 + 0 = y + 2

y = -2 N.s

the momentum of the cue ball after collision is equal to resultant of the momentum .

$P = \sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

$P = \sqrt{7^2+(-2)^2}$

P = 7.28 N.s

the momentum of the cue ball after collision is equal to P = 7.28 N.s

A parallel-plate capacitor has square plates that are 7.20 cm on each side and 3.40 mm apart. The space between the plates is co

Lilit [14]

Answer:

U = 218 nJ

Explanation:

We are given;

Spacing between the plates; d = 3.4 mm = 3.4 × 10^(-3) m

Voltage across the capacitor; V = 96 V

Dimension of the square plates is 7.2cm x 7.2cm.

So, Area = 7.2 × 7.2 = 51.84 cm² = 51.84 × 10^(-4) m²

Permittivity of free space; ε_o = 8.85 × 10^(-12) C²/N.m²

From relative permeability table;

Dielectric constant of Pyrex; k1 = 5.6

Dielectric constant of polystyrene; k2 = 2.56

Now, formula for capacitance of a capacitor with Dielectric is;

C = kC_o

Where, C_o = ε_o(A/d)

Since there are 2 capacitors, d will now be d/2 = (3.4 × 10^(-3))/2 m = 1.7 × 10^(-3)

Since we have 2 capacitor, thus ;

C1 = k1*ε_o*(A/d)

C1 = (5.6 × 8.85 × 10^(-12) × (51.84 × 10^(-4))/(1.7 × 10^(-3))

C1 = 1.51 × 10^(-10) F

Similarly;

C2 = (2.56 × 8.85 × 10^(-12) × (51.84 × 10^(-4))/(1.7 × 10^(-3))

C2 = 0.691 × 10^(-10) F

For capacitors in series, formula for total capacitance(Cs) is;

1/Cs = (1/C1) + (1/C2)

Simplifying this, we have;

Cs = (C1*C2)/(C1 + C2)

Plugging in the relevant values ;

Cs = (1.51 × 10^(-10)*0.691 × 10^(-10))/((1.51 × 10^(-10)) + (0.691 × 10^(-10)))

Cs = 0.474 × 10^(-10) F

The formula for energy stored in a capacitor with 2 Dielectrics is given as;

U = ½Cs*V²

So,

U = ½ × 0.474 × 10^(-10) × 96²

U = 2.18 × 10^(-7) J = 218 × 10^(-9) = 218 nJ
