A: The Earth we live is a unique planet for human to survive. It contains atmosphere with the suitable…
Q: Dispersion of white light into different colors while passing through a prism, forming a rainbow, is…
A: Here we will discuss the dispersion of white light in a prism.
Q: When a ray of light move from rarer to denser medium the incident angle is ----refracted angle:
A: According to Snell 's law Refractive index = sini/sin r
Q: Explain Luminous versus illuminated objects.
A: luminous and illuminated objects
Q: Why infrared radiations are used for photography in dark?
A:
Q: As light travels from air into water, what happens to the frequency of the light? Consider how the…
A: Light has dual nature. It can travel both as wave & particle. Light speed varies with medium.
Q: ) When two light waves are out of phase with one another: They will cancel out They will be…
A: When two light waves are out of phase with one another they will cancel out . because Destructive…
Q: Why are light waves able to travel through a vaccum whereas sound waves cannot?
A: Speed of sound: The speed of sound is the distance travelled by a sound wave per unit of time. The…
