By what angle should the second polarized sheet be rotated relative to the first to reduce the transmitted intensity to one-half

the intensity that was transmitted through both polarizing sheets when aligned
Physics
1 answer:
algol [13]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

   θ  = 45º

Explanation:

The light that falls on the second polarized is polarized, therefore it is governed by the law of Maluz

              I = I₀ cos² θ

in the problem they ask us

            I = ½ I₀

let's look for the angles

             ½ I₀ = I₀ cos² θ

             cos θ  = √ ½ = 0.707

            θ  = cos 0.707

           θ  = 45º

An inelastic collision of two objects is characterized by the following.
serious [3.7K]

Options:

(a) Total kinetic energy of the system remains constant.

(b) Total momentum of the system is conserved.

(c) Both A and B are true.

(d) Neither A nor B are true.

Answer:

(b) Total momentum of the system is conserved.

Explanation:

An inelastic collision is a type of collision in which momentum is conserved and kinetic energy is not conserved. That is, there is loss of kinetic energy.

In an inelastic collision:

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

An example of inelastic collision is seen in the ballistic pendulum, The ballistic pendulum is a device in which a projectile such as a bullet is fired into a suspended heavy wooden stationary block.

In a certain time period a coil of wire is rotated from one orientation to another with respect to a uniform 0.38-T magnetic fie
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

8.4 V

Explanation:

induced emf, e1 = 5.8 V

Magnetic field, B1 = 0.38 T

magnetic field, B2 = 0.55 T

induced emf, e2 = ?

As we know that the induced emf is directly proportional to the magnetic field strength.

When the other parameters remains constant then

\frac{e_{1}}{e_{2}}=\frac{B_{1}}{B_{2}}

\frac{5.8}{e_{2}}=\frac{0.38}{0.55}

e2 = 8.4 V

Thus, the induced emf is 8.4 V.

A 76-kg man standing on a scale in an elevator notes that as the elevator rises, the scale reads 840 N. What is the acceleration
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

1.25 m/s^2

Explanation:

m = 76 kg, R = 840 N

Let a be the acceleration of teh elevator in upward direction.

By use of Newton's second law

R - mg = m a

R = m ( g + a)

840 = 76 ( 9.8 + a)

a = 1.25 m/s^2
