Unpolarized light passes through two polarizers. Find the fraction of light from the first polarizer that gets through the secon

Answer:

0.5

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The angle between their transmission axes, θ = 60°

Now,

We have the relation,

I₁ = I₀cos²θ

where,

I₁ is the intensity of the transmitted light

I₀ is the intensity of the incident light

on rearranging, we get

\frac{I_1}{I_0}=cos²60°

or

\frac{I_1}{I_0}=0.5

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

Let I₀ be the intensity of polarised light from first polariser . After first polarisation, in the second polarisation, intensity changes as follows

I = I₀  Cos² θ⁰

I = I₀  Cos² 60⁰

=  I₀  1 / 2² = I₀ / 4

So , 1/4 or one fourth of intensity from first polariser gets through the second polariser.

"In a Young’s double-slit experiment, the separation between slits is d and the screen is a distance D from the slits. D is much
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is, x=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}      

Explanation:

If d is the separation between slits, D is the distance between the slit and the screen and \lambda is the wavelength of the light. Let x is the  number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is given by :

x=\dfrac{n\lambda D}{d}

\lambda is the wavelength

n is the order

If n = 1,

x=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}

So, the the number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is \dfrac{\lambda D}{d}. Hence, the correct option is (B).

"There are two types of error that can occur when making measurements: systematic and random error. How you correct the error de
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Systematic error can be corrected using calibration of the measurement instrument, while random error can be corrected using an average measurement from a set of measurements.

Explanation:

Random errors lead to fluctuations around the true value as a result of difficulty taking measurements, whereas systematic errors lead to predictable and consistent departures from the true value due to problems with the calibration of your equipment.

Systematic error can be corrected, by calibration of the measurement instrument. Calibration is simply a procedure where the result of measurement recorded by an instrument is compared with the measurement result of a standard value.

Random error can be corrected using an average measurement from a set of measurements or by Increasing sample size.

Which of the following would most likely be considered nonpoint source pollution
fredd [130]
The best answer is b) increased turbidity from erosion.

Nonpoint source pollution generally happens as a result of many systems interacting, and is not directly attributed to one event or pollutant. Generally, natural environmental systems participate in pollution of this kind, regardless of whether or not human activity was a factor. Examples include water runoff, or erosion. 

The other pollutants listed have a direct cause and direct effect, the animal waste goes directly from the animals to the ground they live on, the car shop directly sumps the oil on the ground, and the oil tank leaks directly into the earth. Erosion causing turbidity is a less direct form of pollution, and is due to the synthesis of several natural phenomena<span />

A car accelerates in the +x direction from rest with a constant acceleration of a1 = 1.76 m/s2 for t1 = 20 s. At that point the
alex41 [277]

Answer:

(a)v_1 = a_1t_1 = 1.76 t_1

(b) It won't hit

(c) 110 m

Explanation:

(a) the car velocity is the initial velocity (at rest so 0) plus product of acceleration and time t1

v_1 = v_0 + a_1t_1 = 0 +1.76t_1 = 1.76t_1

(b) The velocity of the car before the driver begins braking is

v_1 = 1.76*20 = 35.2m/s

The driver brakes hard and come to rest for t2 = 5s. This means the deceleration of the driver during braking process is

a_2 = \frac{\Delta v_2}{\Delta t_2} = \frac{v_2 - v_1}{t_2} = \frac{0 - 35.2}{5} = -7.04 m/s^2

We can use the following equation of motion to calculate how far the car has travel since braking to stop

s_2 = v_1t_2 + a_2t_2^2/2

s_2 = 35.2*5 - 7.04*5^2/2 = 88 m

Also the distance from start to where the driver starts braking is

s_1 = a_1t_1^2/2 = 1.76*20^2/2 = 352

So the total distance from rest to stop is 352 + 88 = 440 m < 550 m so the car won't hit the limb

(c) The distance from the limb to where the car stops is 550 - 440 = 110 m
