Unpolarized light with an average intensity of 845 W/m2 moves along the x-axis when it enters a Polarizer A with a vertical tran

smission axis (along the y-axis). The transmitted light then enters a second polarizer, B at an angle in the y-z plane . The light that exits the second polarizer is found to have an average intensity of 275 W/m2. What is the orientation angle of the second polarizer (B) relative to the first one (A)

Answer:

θ = 36.2º

Explanation:

When light passes through a polarizer it becomes polarized and if it then passes through a second polarizer, it must comply with Malus's law

         I = I₀ cos² tea

The non-polarized light between the first polarized of this leaves half the intensity, with vertical polarization

          I₁ = I₀ / 2

          I₁ = 845/2

          I₁ = 422.5 W / m²

In this case, the incident light in the second polarizer has an intensity of I₁ = 422.5 W / m² and the light that passes through the polarizer has a value of

I = 275 W / m ²

      Cos² θ = I / I₁

      Cos θ = √ I / I₁

      Cos θ = √ (275 / 422.5)

     Cos θ = 0.80678

     θ = cos⁻¹ 0.80678

     θ = 36.2º

This is the angle between the two polarizers

A mass M is attached to an ideal massless spring. When this system is set in motion with amplitude A, it has a period T. What is
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

<em>The period of the motion will still be equal to T.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

for a system with mass = M

attached to a massless spring.

If the system is set in motion with an amplitude (distance from equilibrium position) A

and has period T

The equation for the period T is given as

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{k} }

where k is the spring constant

If the amplitude is doubled, the distance from equilibrium position to the displacement is doubled.

Increasing the amplitude also increases the restoring force. An increase in the restoring force means the mass is now accelerated to cover more distance in the same period, so the restoring force cancels the effect of the increase in amplitude. Hence, <em>increasing the amplitude has no effect on the period of the mass and spring system.</em>

butalik [34]

Answer:

a. Quadruped arm and opposite leg raise

Explanation:

Quadruped arm and opposite leg lift

- Kneel on the floor, lean forward and place your hands down.

- Keep your knees in line with your hips and hands directly under your shoulders.

- Simultaneously raise one arm and extend the opposite leg, so that they are in line with the spine.

- Go back to the starting position.

This method is usually used as an alternative to iso-abs exercise or also known as a bridge, which allows you to exercise the abdominal and spinal area at the same time.

It is also used together with other exercises for the treatment of hyperlordosis.

A beam of light, with a wavelength of 4170 Å, is shined on sodium, which has a work function (binding energy) of 4.41 × 10 –19 J
Lyrx [107]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, \lambda=4170\ A=4170\times 10^{-10}\ m

Work function of sodium, W_o=4.41\times 10^{-19}\ J

The kinetic energy of the ejected electron in terms of work function is given by :

KE=h\dfrac{c}{\lambda}-W_o\\\\KE=6.63\times 10^{-34}\times \dfrac{3\times 10^8}{4170\times 10^{-10}}-4.41\times 10^{-19}\\\\KE=3.59\times 10^{-20}\ J

The formula of kinetic energy is given by :

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2KE}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 3.59\times 10^{-20}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}} \\\\v=2.8\times 10^5\ m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.
