Explanation:
When the stone is moving in a circle, its velocity vector is always tangential to the circle. The string provides the necessary centripetal force directed towards the center. When the string breaks, this inward force ceases to exist. Due to inertia of direction (Newton's First Law), the stone continues to move along the tangent at the point where the string broke.
Explanation:
Dispersion occurs because different colors of light travel at slightly different speeds inside the glass prism, meaning they have different refractive indices. Red light has the longest wavelength, the lowest refractive index in glass, and therefore deviates (bends) the least. Violet has the shortest wavelength and deviates the most.
