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

If you add air to a flat tire through a single small entry hole, why does the air spread out to fill the tire
Natali [406]
The tire fills up just like any thing else that holds air when u pump a ball or tire up it fills all the way up cause it is a small confined space and after filling it with air the atoms of the air fill the tire up

Two blocks of masses 3.0 kg and 5.0 kg are connected by a spring and rest on a frictionless surface. They are given velocities t
miskamm [114]

Answer:

-0.7 m/sec

Explanation:

Mass of first block = m1 =3.0 kg

Mass of second block = m2= 5.0 kg

Velocity of first block = V1= 1.2 m/s

Velocity of second block = V2 = ?

Momentum of Center of mass MVcom  is sum of both blocks momentum and is given by

MVcom= m1v1+m2v2

Where

M= mass of center of mass

Vcom= Velocity of center of mass=0 m/s (because center of mass is at rest , so Vcom = 0 m.sec)

Putting values, we get;

0= 3×1.2+5v2

==> v2=  3.6/5= - 0.7 m/s

-ve sign indicates that block 2 is moving in opposite direction of block 1

An inductor has inductance of 0.260 H and carries a current that is decreasing at a uniform rate of 18.0 mA/s.
nignag [31]

Answer:

The self-induced emf in this inductor is 4.68 mV.

Explanation:

The emf in the inductor is given by:

\epsilon = -L\frac{dI}{dt}

Where:

dI/dt: is the decreasing current's rate change = -18.0 mA/s (the minus sign is because the current is decreasing)

L: is the inductance = 0.260 H

So, the emf is:

\epsilon = -L\frac{dI}{dt} = -0.260 H*(-18.0 \cdot 10^{-3} A/s) = 4.68 \cdot 10^{-3} V

Therefore, the self-induced emf in this inductor is 4.68 mV.  

I hope it helps you!

What are challenges of securing a crime scene
kotegsom [21]

At any crime scene, the two greatest challenges to the physical evidence are contamination and loss of continuity.

<h3>What is the meaning of physical evidence?</h3>

In evidence law, physical evidence (also called real evidence or material evidence) is any material object that plays some role in the matter that gave rise to the litigation, introduced as evidence in a judicial proceeding (such as a trial) to prove a fact in issue based on the object's physical characteristics.

The two types of evidence at crime scenes:

Biological evidence (e.g., blood, body fluids, hair and other tissues)

Latent print evidence (e.g., fingerprints, palm prints, footprints)

The biggest impediment to an investigation is the removal or loss of a piece of evidence from the scene of a crime.

Hence, at any crime scene, the two greatest challenges to the physical evidence are contamination and loss of continuity.
