Chapter 8. Spectrum

Dispersion and Recombination of White Light * The angle between the two refracting faces of a prism is called the angle of the prism or refracting angle ‘A’. * The angle between the incident ray and the emergent ray is called the angle of the deviation‘d’. The angle of deviation depends on:    *  The ... Read more

Chapter 7. Work Energy Power

Work and Energy - Work * Work done by force acting on an object is equal to the magnitude of the force multiplied by the displacement of the object in the direction of the force. Condition for work to be done:    *  A net force act on an object.    *  The object must ... Read more
