Solution
3) When unpolarized light passes through a single polarizer, the intensity of the light is cut in half.
Hence, if the initial intensity of unpolarized light is I₀ = 80 W/m²
The intensity of the light rays thay pass through the first single polarizer = I₁ = (I₀/2) = (80/2) = 40 W/m²
- According to Malus' law, the intensity of transmitted light through a polarizer is related to the intensity of the incident light and the angle at which the polarizer is placed with respect to the major axis of the polarizer before the current polarizer of concern.
I₂ = I₁ cos² θ
where
I₂ = intensity of light that passes through the second polarizer = ?
I₁ = Intensity of light from the first polarizer that is incident upon the second polarizer = 40 W/m²
θ = angle between the major axis of the first and second polarizer = 30°
I₂ = 40 (cos² 30°) = 40 (0.8660)² = 30 W/m²
In the same vein, the intensity of light that passes through the third/additional polarizer is related to the intensity of light that passes through the second polarizer and is incident upon this third/additional polarizer through
I₃ = I₂ cos² θ
I₃ = intensity of light that passes through the third/additional polarizer = ?
I₂ = Intensity of light from the second polarizer that is incident upon the third/additional polarizer = 30 W/m²
θ = angle between the major axis of the second and third/additional polarizer = 60° (although, it is 90° with respect to the first polarizer, it is the angle it makes with the major axis of the second polarizer, 60°, that matters)
I₃ = 30 (cos² 60°) = 30 (0.5)² = 7.5 W/m²

Answer:
False
Explanation:
The moment of inertia for a rigid body is given by
where
is the density distribution of the object
r is the distance from the axis of rotation of the object
Essentially, the moment of inertia does not depend only on the mass of the object, but also on its shape. For example: for a solid cylinder, the moment of inertia derived from the formula above is
where M is the mass of the cylinder and R is its radius. As we see, I (moment of inertia) does not depend on the mass only: therefore, if two objects have same moment of inertia, this does not imply that they also have the same mass.
Answer:
The field losses a total of 55.814 litres of water in an hour.
Explanation:
As the complete question is not given here, the average rate of water loss is not given here which is found in normal conditions as 1.67 mL/m2.
Now the average rate of water loss per minute is 1.67 mL/m2
So the average rate of water loss per minute for 557 m2 is 1.67*557=930.19 mL
So 930.19 mL of water is lost from the field in 1 minute, for the calculation of water lost in an hour, the value is given as 60*930.19 =55811.4 mL or 55.814 litres.
