How does refractive index vary with wavelength?
Part 1 - WHY does refractive index vary?The refractive index of a material is determined by how quickly light travels through it. Different wavelengths travel at different speeds, hence the refractive index varies with wavelength. This is known as (chromatic) dispersion.In glass, red light travels faster than blue light, which is why a prism can be used to split white light into a rainbow.Part 2 - HOW does refractive index vary? (ie. Define the relationship).Sorry - I haven't a clue. I'm looking for the answer as well!
Can destructive interference occur in waves of different frequencies?
Yes, because propagation speeds may vary. Beware the conventional error in considering only 'frequency' which is a metaphysical conception requiring 'time'. Much confusion arises from this error. The proper 'real' scalar directly producing interference effects is 'WAVELENGTH'.
What is the reason for sound travelling at different speeds in the 3 states of matter?
Sound travels through matter by the transfer of energy from one molecule (or atom) to the next. Picture striking a row of pool balls straight on end with another pool ball. The balls won't move (and, in a perfect collision, the striking ball will stop as well) except for the ball at the far end of the row, which will move away from the row. This is the principle behind those annoying desktop clacker toys with the swinging metal balls, and it is a simple way to envision how sound travels. Now, in the three states of matter, the "balls" are different distances apart, from very close (solid) to somewhat distant (liquid) to quite far (gaseous). It takes longer for one "ball" to get to another and transfer its energy the farther apart they are. Hence, different speeds.
Why can there only be one variable in an experiment?
If you vary only one quantity in an experiment, then the results will be related to that quantity. If you vary two or more quantities, then the results will be ambiguous; you will not know what variation is responsible for the observed result.

How fast is a meteroid?
Their speeds vary.
How fast are the peg perego vehicles?
There are many different vehicles to choose from. The speeds vary from 2.5-5 MPH. This is the practical speeds for pretty much all childrens car/truck toys.
What are the different router speeds?
There are several types of router speeds. These include 802.11 b, the slowest, and 11 Mbps is the fastest.
What is the speed of planets?
The speed of planets will vary as they travel at different speeds. Mercury is the fastest planet while Pluto is the slowest. The speed of the planets is influenced by how close they are to the sun.
Why is a large range of speeds of sounds given for wood and glass?
That is because there are different kinds of glass and wood whose structures are different. As a result sound can travel faster through some types of glass than other types, and similarly with wood.
What should your dodge idle at?
Idle speeds can vary from 500 to 1200 rpm
What is the average cost for collision car insurance in Iowa?
The rates will vary depending on the particulars of your situation. But in general collision protection should run somewhere around $14,000.
What is the time frame in order to sue guilty party in an auto collision?
It can vary from staet-to-state.
How far is Venus from Mars in km?
It is not possible to give a definitive answer to this question. All the planets orbit the Sun at different speeds. As a result the distance between any two planets is constantly changing and actual distances can vary a lot.
Can I get insurance to cover collision in New Jersey?
Contact your local insurance agencies to inquire if you are eligible to receive collision insurance in your state of New Jersey, as they vary from state to state.
Is space time different from earth time?
Earth has gravity and space does not.
Why does basketry vary in different parts of Tanzania?
The different styles of basketry are the result of each of them originating with a different tribe. The United Republic of Tanzania is a country in East Africa and shares a border with Kenya.
