Unpolarized light of intensity I0 = 950 W/m2 is incident upon two polarizers. The first has its polarizing axis vertical, and th

e axis of the second is rotated θ = 65° from the vertical.
Required:
a. What is the intensity of the light after it passes through the first polarizer in W/m2?
b. What is the intensity of the light after it passes through the second polarizer in W/m2?

Answer:

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 425 W/m²

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = 75.905 W/m²

Explanation:

Given:

Unpolarized light of intensity (I₀) = 950 W/m²

θ = 65°

Find:

a. Intensity of the light (first polarizer)

b. Intensity of the light (second polarizer)

Computation:

a. Intensity of the light (first polarizer)

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = I₀ / 2

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 950 / 2

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 425 W/m²

b. Intensity of the light (second polarizer)

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = (I₁)cos²θ

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = (425)(0.1786)

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = 75.905 W/m²

A truck driver is broadcasting at a frequency of 27.075 MHz with a CB (citizen's band) radio. Determine the wavelength of the el

Sergio [31]

Answer:

11m

Explanation:

Wavelength of a wave is the distance between successive crests and trough of a wave. It is represented mathematically as the ratio of the speed of the wave to its frequency. It can be expressed as;

Wavelength ¶ = wave speed (v) /frequency (f)

Given the speed of light c = 2.9979 10^8 m/s.

frequency of the radio wave = 27.075 MHz = 27.075×10^6Hz

Wavelength = 2.9979 10^8/27.075×10^6

Wavelength = 0.11×10^2

Wavelength = 11m

Therefore, the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave being used is 11m

A person in a kayak starts paddling, and it accelerates from 0 to 0.680 m/s in a distance of 0.428 m. If the combined mass of th

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Net force, F = 44.66 N

Explanation:

It is given by,

Initial velocity of the person, u = 0

Final velocity of the person, v = 0.68 m/s

Distance, s = 0.428 m

Combined mass of the person and the kayak, m = 82.7 kg

We need to find the net force acting on the kayak i.e.

F = ma...........(1)

Firstly, we will calculate the value of "a" from third equation of motion as :

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}$

$a=\dfrac{(0.68\ m/s)^2-0}{2\times 0.428\ m}$

$a=0.54\ m/s^2$

Put the value of a in equation (1) as :

$F=82.7\ kg\times 0.54\ m/s^2$

F = 44.66 N

So, the net force acting on the kayak is 44.66 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

CClassify each characteristic of sound waves.

Alex787 [66]

Explanation : Explain each characteristic of sound waves.

Intensity : the intensity of the sound wave is understand as the power carry by sound wave per unit area in the direction perpendicular to that area.

Loudness : loudness is the quality of the loud and soft of the sound wave.

Frequency : Human normal hear sound frequency between 20 Hz to kHz.

Pitch : Pitch is the quality of low and high of sound wave . pitch relates to the frequency of the slowest vibration in the sound wave for simple sound.
