Polarized light waves are those that have only one plane of vibration. Polarization is the process by which non-polarized light is converted into polarised light. There are numerous ways to polarise light.

A characteristic of transverse waves called polarisation identifies the geometric angle of the oscillations. A transverse wave's oscillation direction is perpendicular to the wave's motion direction.

given

Only 72.0% of the light's intensity makes it through the sheet and hits another sheet of polarising material. The second sheet lets no light flow through it.

Given that no light passes through the second sheet because both sheets are crossed, the angle the transmission axis of the second sheet makes with the vertical is

θ₂ = θ₁ + 90°

   = 31.94° + 90°

   = 1 21.94°

for the first sheet and

Icos²θ₁ = I

I/I₀ = 0.72

θ₁ = cos⁻¹√(0.72)

    = 31.94°

for the second sheet, respectively. This is because the malus law states that I = Iocos²θ₁ for the first sheet.

Volgvan

Answer:

1800 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

We know this because of Newton's first law, F=ma, which shows us that the force on an object is equal to its mass times the acceleration it recieves. This means that taking our values of 900N and 0.5kg, and plugging them in,

900N=(0.5kg)*(1800m/s^2)

This is honestly a little strange because the force applied and the acceleration seem ridiculous, and a little strange for an answer. Either the values are not meant to be nearly close to reality, or you made a typo.

How many (whole number of) 87 kg people
choli [55]

Answer:

11

Explanation:

1. You are going to be rounding down.

2. change the metric ton to kg.

1.000 * 10^3 kg = 1000 kg

1000 / 87 = 11.49 = 11 people

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

we humans have our own ify classification for celestial objects, most people are saddened that pluto is not a planet anymore altho it hasn't changed at all.

scientist say that if an object is going to be considered a planet it must fill in these three checkboxes:

You must be spherical, you must orbit a star, and you must have already cleared your path or debris.

Pluto fills in the first two boxes but it does orbit in the keyperbelt and there are 5 other objects just like it. this is why pluto has been dubbed a dwarf planet.

Four blocks of weights are required using which any body whose weight is between 1kg and 40 kg can be weighed. Find the four wei
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The weights are 1 kg, 3kg, 9kg and 27kg.

Explanation:

The weights are 1 kg, 3kg, 9kg and 27kg.

1+3+9+27= 40

27+9+3= 39

27+9+3-1=38

27+9+1=37

27+9=36

27+9-1=35

27+9+1-3=34

27+9-3=33

27+9-3-1=32

27+3+1=31

27+3=30

27+3-1=29

27+1=28

27

27-1=26

27+1-3=25

27-3=24

27-3-1=23

27+3+1-9=22

27+3-9=21

27+3-9-1=20

Like this all the weights from 1 to 40 kg can be made using 1,3,9 and 27 kg.

A 2-m long string is stretched between two supports with a tension that produces a wave speed equal to vw=50.00m/s. What are the
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer

given,

Length of the string, L = 2 m

speed of the wave , v = 50 m/s

string is stretched between two string

For the waves the nodes must be between the strings

the wavelength  is given by

           \lambda = \dfrac{2L}{n}

where n is the number of antinodes; n = 1,2,3,...

the frequency expression is given by

            f = n\dfrac{v}{2L}

now, wavelength calculation

      n = 1

           \lambda_1 = \dfrac{2\times 2}{1}

                    λ₁ = 4 m

      n = 2

           \lambda_2 = \dfrac{2\times 2}{2}

                   λ₂ = 2 m

      n =3

           \lambda_3 = \dfrac{2\times 2}{3}

                    λ₃ = 1.333 m

now, frequency calculation

      n = 1

            f = n\dfrac{v}{2L}

            f_1 =1\times \dfrac{50}{2\times 2}

                    f₁ = 12.5 Hz

      n = 2

            f = n\dfrac{v}{2L}

            f_2 =2\times \dfrac{50}{2\times 2}

                    f₂= 25 Hz

      n = 3

            f = n\dfrac{v}{2L}

            f_3 =3\times \dfrac{50}{2\times 2}

                    f₃ = 37.5 Hz
