1. The separation of sunlight into component colors by means of a prism is called (a) diffraction, (b) dispersion, (c) refraction, (d) reflection.

2. Monochromatic light transmitted into a prism cannot be (a) refracted, (b) reflected by180⁰, (c) internally reflected, (d) dispersed.

3. Which of the following colors of light is refracted more in a typical transparent medium? (a) blue, (b) yellow, (c) green, (d) red.

4. Dispersion is responsible for (a) diffuse reflection, (b) spherical aberration, (c) chromatic aberration, (d) polarization.

5. The appearance of a “wet spot” on a hot highway in the summer is caused by (a) polarization, (b) reflection, (c) refraction, (d) aberration.

6.Light enters a more optically dense medium at (a) θ₁=θ₂, (b) θ₁ >θ_2, (c) θ₁<θ_{2 ,} (d) θ₁=θ_c .

Expert Solution

1. The separation of sunlight into component colors by means of a prism is called dispersion, it is the observed because different colours or wavelengths travel with different speeds in a given media (say prism). hence we obtain a 7 coloured spectra of sunlight after passing it through prism.

2. Monochromatic light transmitted into a prism cannot be dispersed, it is so because phenonemnon of dispersion is based on the fact that different wavelengths travel with different speeds in a given media but in a monochromatic light there is only one wavelength and hence dispersion is not possible.

3. red colour is refracted more in a transparent medium because it has the greatest wavelength and hence suffers the minimum deviation.

4. Dispersion is responsible for chromatic aberration , because different colours travel with different speeds in a lens giving rise to chromatic abberation.

5. The appearance of a “wet spot” on a hot highway in the summer is caused by REFLECTION, it happens when highway gets hot , the refractive index of air near the rod is decreased and hence the rays of light coming from upper atmosphere suffers total internal reflection and we get to see a wet spot

Imagine, you are taking a prism to split the sunlight into it's spectrum of colors. You further place a thermometer or temperature probe into each of the three resulting color areas blue, yellow, and red (see schematic). Which thermometer do you expect to show the highest temperature and why? Now imagine additionally that you take a fourth thermometer and place it in the area just outside/beyond the red region of your visible spectrum. How would you expect the temperature reading...

I need to know the procedures of the experiment below : Separation of a Three-Component Mixture by Extraction benzoic acid ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate diphenyl sulfone A 1.5-gram sample of a 1:1:1 (by weight) mixture of benzoic acid, ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate and diphenyl sulfone was added to a 125 mL separatory funnel. Isopropyl acetate (20 mL) was added to the separatory funnel and the mixture swirled until all solids had dissolved. The solution was sequentially extracted with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution (4...

Minnesota Manufacturing makes a component called Upper B2040. This component is manufactured only when ordered by a customer, so Mississippi keeps no inventory of Upper B2040. The list price is $114 per unit, but customers who place "large" orders receive a 14% discount on price. The customers are manufacturing firms. Currently, the salespeople decide whether an order is large enough to qualify for the discount. When the product is finished, it is packed in cases of 10. If the component...

South Side manufacturing produces a product called A710, a major component of which is called R37. Currently, the company purchases 4,000 units per year of R37 from a supplier at a cost of $ 90 per unit. The company is considering manufacturing R37 and has compiled the following data: • This process would require the purchase of a special machine costing $160,000. This machine would be used for four years, at which time it would be sold for $10,000....

Jim forms a corporation, called Not-So-Bright Colors, Inc., to paint houses. Jim is the sole officer and director. Jim hires through his corporation his long-time friend, Brian, to paint houses. Jim also buys a truck through his corporation to drive to the work sites and carry painting supplies. Brian, with Jim's consent, also uses this truck during the evening hours to pinstripe automobiles. Jim and Brian agree that Brian's unincorporated auto detailing business, Sort-of-Straight Lines, is Brian's business alone, and...
