How many minutes does it take light from the sun to reach the earth which is 1.5 x 1011 m away the speed of light is 3.0 x 108 m s? Therefore, light travelling at 3.0×10^8 meters per second takes 500 seconds (8 minutes, 20 seconds) to reach the Earth, which is 1.5×10^11 meters away […]
Which best explain the separation of color of white light?
Which best explain the separation of color of white light? White light separates its color when it passes through a transparent. medium. When light passes through a triangular prism, its color separates. because of their different refractive indices. What is the spectrum of white light? The spectrum of white light consists of six basic colours […]
Why does a single slit cause diffraction?
Why does a single slit cause diffraction? Interference and Diffraction are the phenomena that distinguish waves from particles: waves interfere and diffract, particles do not. Light bends around obstacles like waves do, and it is this bending which causes the single slit diffraction pattern. The slit size is small, relative to the wavelength of light. […]
How is the motion of the object affected by the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity and or acceleration?
How is the motion of the object affected by the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity and or acceleration? The horizontal motion of an object is unaffected by the force of gravity for relatively short displacements. This means that the horizontal velocity is constant, while the vertical velocity is accelerating. This change in angle […]
