AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the approximate wavelengths of various colors, specifically blue, green, bluish-green, yellow, orange, violet, and red, expressed in both angstroms and meters. Participants emphasize that this information is readily available in physics textbooks or through online searches. There is a reminder that homework questions should be posted in the appropriate forum and that users need to demonstrate their own efforts to receive assistance. The thread was subsequently moved to the Homework Help section for better organization. Proper etiquette in forum participation is highlighted throughout the conversation.

i want to know the approx wavelengths of the following colours

blue
green
bluishgreen
yellow
orange
violet
red
the wavelengths should be in amstrong unit and also in meter .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
