There was a question in one of my study materials that asked if you increased the incident angle of white light striking the surface of a glass prism, would the colors disperse less or more. The answer was disperse more. I didn't have an answer because I saw a conflict between the two...
Thanks for the reply! I thought the potential difference was defined by the work that a point charge would require to be pushed from lower to higher potential. Or is that the same idea? But seeing it in this manner does make more sense. How about for a constant voltage, in a closed circuit. Why...
All of these questions are arising from my confusion as to why increasing distance between two capacitor plates attached to a battery, which gives it a constant voltage, results in less charge on the plates. I understand why the electric field decreases in such a situation, but doesn't increased...
Nope, haven't taken a physics course in two years, and reviewing for the MCAT. Just toying with certain concepts that I don't think I considered while taking the class. For the first question. Purely conceptual, two point charges, one positive the other minus. Along the line between the two, the...
HI,
Would the voltage change between two point charges say + and - as you increase the distance between them? When you have two charge parallel plate capacitors, that was charged but a battery then disconnected, its a different story right? The voltage increases?
Thanks
That would be sulfur hexafluoride. But my confusion is that in the question, the molecules are liquids and are producing vapor while still in the liquid phase. So is the question that I posted asking about which vapor is densest when both are produced to equal volume? Don't they have different...
Thanks for the reply! Hmm I think the rest of my trouble with #2 could be condensed to this "is the destructive interference of the reflected waves the equivalent of saying that no light was reflected?
Edit:
Wait, that was a bit redundant haha, i still can't completely wrap my mind around how...
Homework Statement
Which of the following liquids would form the densest vapor upon heating?
A. CH3CH2CH2OH
B .CH3(CH2)3CH2Cl
C. CH3(CH2)4CH2Br
D. (CH3)3CCH2OH
Homework Equations
None really
The Attempt at a Solution
Now I know the answer already, its C. My question is why? I got B, my...
Hi,
I actually have two questions that are somewhat related so I am including them in one post. I add much more detail about the system then probably necessary because I'd like to see if I have a correct understanding of how the system works in addition to the question itself. Please bear with...
Greetings,
I don't have a magnifying glass/convex lens otherwise I would try to confirm this by experiment. Maybe I'll get one soon but to get things started. Let's say you have an object, with its own light source, and a convex lens with focal point f. The object is beyond 2f away from the...
Hmmm icic, thanks for your reply! However, just to reaffirm my understanding with this other scenario I just came up with. What if you had a hypothetical reaction such as
A + B <----> C + D + H2O
A,B,C and D are aqueous. Since H20 is eliminated via approximation, its only effect is through...
