Answer: Plane-polarized light is incident on a single polarizing disk with the direction of E0 parallel to the direction of the transmission axis. Through angle \alpha=cos^-1(\sqrt{\frac{1}{n} }) should the disk be rotated so that the intensity in the transmitted beam is reduced by a factor of n .

Explanation: To find the correct answer, we need more clarifications about the Malu's law.

<h3>What is Malu's law?</h3>
  • When a beam of plane polarized light is passed through an analyzer, the intensity I of the transmitted light varies directly as the square of the angle between the direction of polarizer and the analyzer.

                                 I=I_0cos^2\alpha

where, I_0 is the maximum intensity of transmitted light.

  • Intensity of the light transmitted through the polarizer is half of the incident intensity.
<h3>How to solve the problem?</h3>
  • Here in the question ,let's take the factor at which the intensity of transmitted light is reduced by as n.
  • we have the expression

                                            I=I_0cos^2\alpha

  • we have to find the value of angle alpha, so that the intensity in the transmitted beam is reduced by a factor of n.

                                 \alpha =cos^-1\sqrt{(\frac{I}{I_0}} )=cos^-1\sqrt{\frac{I}{nI} } \\\alpha =cos^-1\sqrt{\frac{1}{n} }

  • If we know the value of n, then we can easily find the angle.

Thus, we can conclude that, the value of angle alpha, so that the intensity in the transmitted beam is reduced by a factor of n will be,

                                 \alpha=cos^-1(\sqrt{\frac{1}{n} }) .

The carbon atom with 12 protons and 12 electrons has a charge of:
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Isotopes are the elements having the same atomic number i.e same number of protons which in turn is equal to same number of electrons. Number of protons and electrons are equal as the atom is electrically neutral. So, the only option is A.

I hope it helps you !

How high would you have to lift a 1000kg car to give it a potential energy of:
Elza [17]

Given parameters:

Mass of the car = 1000kg

Unknown:

Height  = ?

To find the heights for the different amount potential energy given, we need to understand what potential energy is.

Potential energy is the energy at rest due to the position of a body.

 It is mathematically expressed as:

          P.E  = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

h is the height of the car

Now the unknown is h, height and we make it the subject of the expression to make for easy calculation.

               h = \frac{P.E }{mg}

<u>For 2.0 x 10³ J;</u>

                  h  = \frac{2000}{1000 x 9.8}   = 0.204m

<u>For 2.0 x 10⁵ J;</u>

                  h  = \frac{200000}{9.8 x 1000}   = 20.4m

<u>For 1.0kJ  = 1 x 10³J; </u>

                  h  = \frac{1000}{9.8 x 1000}   = 0.102m

A stone on ground is zero energy​
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

A stone on the ground does not have zero energy…there is an internal potential in every object. Aldo is not in action or in any mechanical motion it is being acted upon by gravity and also molecular forces and energy.

What is the difference between a graph of linear motion and a graph of harmonic motion?
fredd [130]
Hope this helps :)

When describing linear motion, you need only one graph representing each of the three terms, while projectile motion requires a graph of the x and y axes. Graphs of simple harmonic motion are sine curves. Circular motion is different from other forms of motion because the speed of the object is constant.
