The photo shows an example of white light entering a prism and coming out as colors of the rainbow.

how does a prism produce the colors of the rainbow from white light?

a. by separating the light of different wavelengths

b. by absorbing colorless wavelengths from white light

c. by changing the wavelength of white light into other wavelengths

d. by reflecting light with white wavelengths and transmitting light with colored wavelengths

Acurve connects the data points that are plotted. (physical science chapter 11 motion)

Light traveling in water, nwater = 1.33, strikes a plastic block at an angle of incidence of 51.4°; part of the beam is reflected and part is refracted. if the index of refraction of the plastic is 2.0, what is the angle made by the reflected and refracted beams?

It may seem strange that the selected velocity does not depend on either the mass or the charge of the particle. (for example, would the velocity of a neutral particle be selected by passage through this device? ) the explanation of this is that the mass and the charge control the resolution of the device--particles with the wrong velocity will be accelerated away from the straight line and will not pass through the exit slit. if the acceleration depends strongly on the velocity, then particles with just slightly wrong velocities will feel a substantial transverse acceleration and will not exit the selector. because the acc
