A student was asked to explain how a prism separates white light into its separate colors. The student explanation is below but contains a few mistakes that have been underlined. Re-write the student explanation and correct any errors that you find. When a beam of white light enters a glass prism, the light waves increase in speed which causes them to bend and reflect inside the glass. White light is actually made up of a combination of different frequencies of light that bend at the same angle. When the light leaves the prism, it bends again, and it is separated into each different color and frequency forming a spectrum that looks like a rainbow.

A33.1 g copper object is launched from a 1.5 m 30° steel incline positioned on the floor by being pulled up a string attached to a 50.0 g mass suspended vertically over a pulley. the object is projected towards a glass table where it lands when it is at the point along its trajectory with the lowest speed. it comes to a halt when it clears the opposite edge of the table. it then falls and lands on 9 physics texts each 5 cm thick that are stacked on the floor on the opposite side of the table. assume that the table does not have a ledge and the rectangular object experiences 0.05 n of air resistance as it falls towards the books. how far and how long did the object travel and how fast does it hit the books. assume that at the moment the copper object leaves the incline, the massless string and ideal pulley break off

Why is rain likely when warm, moisture-laden air meets cold air? a) the lighter warm air will rise and cool down, causing condensation and rain. b) the cold air moves faster and pushes the warm air away, causing condensation and rain. c) the moisture in the warm air condenses on contact with the cold air, causing rain to fall. d) the cold air mixes with the warm air, reducing its temperature causing moisture to condense.
