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 6.99-g bullet is moving horizontally with a velocity of +341 m/s, where the sign + indicates that it is moving to the right (s

Ratling [72]

Answer:

a). 1.218 m/s

b). R=2.8 $^{-3}$

Explanation:

$m_{bullet}=6.99g*\frac{1kg}{1000g}=6.99x10^{-3}kg$

$v_{bullet}=341\frac{m}{s}$

Momentum of the motion the first part of the motion have a momentum that is:

$P_{1}=m_{bullet}*v_{bullet}$

$P_{1}=6.99x10^{-3}kg*341\frac{m}{s} \\P_{1}=2.3529$

The final momentum is the motion before the action so:

a).

$P_{2}=m_{b1}*v_{fbullet}+(m_{b2}+m_{bullet})*v_{f}}$

$P_{2}=1.202 kg*0.554\frac{m}{s}+(1.523kg+6.99x10^{-3}kg)*v_{f}$

$P_{1}=P_{2}$

$2.529=0.665+(1.5299)*v_{f}\\v_{f}=\frac{1.864}{1.5299}\\v_{f}=1.218 \frac{m}{s}$

b).

kinetic energy

$K=\frac{1}{2}*m*(v)^{2}$

Kinetic energy after

$Ka=\frac{1}{2}*1.202*(0.554)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}*1.523*(1.218)^{2}\\Ka=1.142 J$

Kinetic energy before

$Kb=\frac{1}{2}*mb*(vf)^{2}\\Kb=\frac{1}{2}*6.99x10^{-3}kg*(341)^{2}\\Kb=406.4J$

Ratio = $\frac{Ka}{Kb}$

$R=\frac{1.14}{406.4}\\R=2.8x10^{-3}$

Please help me I have been struggling

High/low notes have high/low frequency, not high/low amplitude.
Heartz measures the number of waves per second, not per hour.
Sounds do not travel in space because it's empty
Sounds make our eardrum vibrate. The diaphragm is the muscle we use to breathe.
Soft, pale materials are best for sound proofing because they absorb the waves.
In the next paragraph, ultrasound and infrasound are inverted (ultra means "over, above" and infra means "below").
