Best Answer

A secondary rainbow is dimmer because the light is being dispersed and reflected twice within a raindrop. Extra reflection accounts for a dimmer and less frequently observed secondary bow. Extra reflection results in a 50 degree angle for the dispersion of the color red and a reverse in order of the colors.

A transformer has 150 turns on the primary coil and is connected to a 120 volt power source How many turns will be needed on the secondary coil to provide a secondary voltage of 40 volts?

600 volts I'd like to point out that your question is asking for the secondary voltage, which is usually lower than the primary, where there are more windings on the secondary than primary - Thus your secondary is higher voltage than your primary. I would say the question should be worded differently so the primary has 500 windings, and the secondary has 100 windings.

When a secondary insurance allows more than primary allowed can you keep overpayment?

If I'm not mistaken, and I could be wrong, when the secondary insurance allowes more than the primary, the primary contractual adjustment is voided and the contractual obligation of the secondary should be applied. This will cause the balance to be zero when the adjustment of the secondary is the reflecting contractual obligation. That is how I was taught and it does make sense.
