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.

abody starts from rest and accelerate uniformly at 8m/s/s.calculate the distance travelled by the body in 10s? ​
vagabundo [1.1K]

Explanation:

using the formula: S=ut+½gt², where u=0, S=?, g=8m/s², t=10seconds.

S=ut+½gt² ("ut" term will cancel because u=0).

=> S= ½gt²

=>S = ½×8×10²

=>S = 4×100

=>S = 400m .

Therefore, the distance traveled by the body in 10s is 400m.

hope this helps you.

A disk is uniformly accelerated from rest with angular acceleration α. The magnitude of the linear acceleration of a point on th
solniwko [45]

Answer:

a = R\alpha\sqrt{1 + \alpha^2t^4}

Explanation:

As we know that the acceleration of a point on the rim of the disc is in two directions

1) tangential acceleration which is given as

a_t = R\alpha

2) Centripetal acceleration

a_c = \omega^2 R

here we know that

\omega = \alpha t

a_c = (\alpha t)^2 R

now we know that net linear acceleration is given as

a = \sqrt{a_c^2 + a_t^2}

so we have

a = \sqrt{R^2\alpha^2 + R^2(\alpha t)^4}

a = R\alpha\sqrt{1 + \alpha^2t^4}
