The ratio of the intensity between light intensity that emerges from the last filter and unpolarized light of intensity, I₀ is It/I₀ = 0.2925

To answer the question, we need to know what polarization of light is.

<h3>What is polarization of light?</h3>

This is when the electric field vector of light is oscillating in one plane.

  • Now for light of intensity I' which is initially unpolarized, its intensity after polarization is I = 1/2I'.
  • Also, for light initially polarized, its intensity after polarization is I"' = I"cos²Ф where Ф is the angle between the initial direction and the direction of polarization.
<h3>Intensity of light through each polarized filter</h3>

Given that we have 7 polarizing filters, each rotated 17° cw with respect to the previous filter.

So, since the light is initially unpolarized,

  • The intensity through the first polarizing filter is I₁ = 1/2I₀ where I₀ is the initial intensity.
  • The intensity through the second polarizing filter is I₂ = I₁cos²17°= 1/2I₀cos²17°
  • The intensity through the third polarizing filter is I₃ = I₂cos²17° = 1/2I₀cos⁴17°
  • The intensity through the fourth polarizing filter is I₄ = I₃cos²17° = 1/2I₀cos⁶17°
  • The intensity through the fifth polarizing filter is I₅ = I₄cos²17° = 1/2I₀cos⁸17°
  • The intensity through the sixth polarizing filter is I₆ = I₅cos²17° = 1/2I₀cos¹⁰17°
  • The intensity through the seventh polarizing filter is I₇ = I₆cos²17° = 1/2I₀cos¹²17°.
<h3>The ratio of the intensity between light intensity that emerges from the last filter and unpolarized light of intensity</h3>

Since I₇ is the last intensity I₇ = It = 1/2I₀cos¹²17°.

So, It/I₀ = 1/2cos¹²17°

= 1/2(0.9563)¹²

= 1/2 × 0.5850

= 0.2925

So, the ratio of the intensity between light intensity that emerges from the last filter and unpolarized light of intensity, I₀ is It/I₀ = 0.2925

A solid sphere has a radius of 0.200 m and a mass of 150.0 kg. how much work is required to get the sphere rolling with an angul
Allisa [31]

Here in this case we can use work energy theorem

As per work energy theorem

Work done by all forces = Change in kinetic Energy of the object

Total kinetic energy of the solid sphere is ZERO initially as it is given at rest.

Final total kinetic energy is sum of rotational kinetic energy and translational kinetic energy

KE = \frac{1}{2}Iw^2 +\frac{1}{2} mv^2

also we know that

I = \frac{2}{5}mR^2

w= \frac{v}{R}

Now kinetic energy is given by

KE = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{5}mR^2)w^2 +\frac{1}{2} m(Rw)^2

KE = \frac{1}{5}mR^2w^2 +\frac{1}{2} mR^2w^2

KE = \frac{7}{10}mR^2w^2

KE = \frac{7}{10}*150*(0.200)^2(50)^2

KE = 10500 J

Now by work energy theorem

Work done = 10500 - 0 = 10500 J

So in the above case work done on sphere is 10500 J

This diagram represents the synthesis of nitrogen monoxide. Write a balanced equation of this chemical reaction. A) N2(g) + O2(g
ruslelena [56]
The only balanced equation is B. 

If you look at the equation and break it down you can see that in:

N_{2} + O_{2}→ 2NO

Starting from the left side of the equation there are 2 Nitrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms as indicated by the subscript. 

To balance the equation, the number of atoms of each element in the right side equation should be equal to left. By putting the numerical coefficient of 2, you will distribute that to each element. So you will end up with 2 nitrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms on the left side of the equation. Thus, the equation is balanced. 

The answer again, is B.
