Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

If the prism created the rainbow colors, it should be possible to shine a different color of light through it and still get many colors. Newton placed a second prism on the rainbow of light to show that when one color of light went in, only the same color came out and no new colors were produced. In this way he showed that the hypothesis that the prism produces colors was wrong and therefore that the colors were indeed intrinsic to the sunlight.

There used to be a metric calendar, as well as metric clocks. The metric calendar, or "French Republican Calendar" divided the year into 12 months, but each month was divided into three 10-day weeks. Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
