Answer:

The focal length of the mirror is 52.5 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Object to Image distance d = 140 cm

Image distance v= 35 cm

We need to calculate the object distance

$u = d-v$

$u = 140-35=105\ cm$

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of mirror

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{-105}+\dfrac{1}{35}$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{2}{105}$

$f=52.5\ cm$

Hence, The focal length of the mirror is 52.5 cm.

Unpolarizedlight of intensity I_0 is incident on three polarizingfilters. The axis of the first is vertical, that of the secondi

Marina86 [1]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the law of Malus which describe the intensity of light passing through a polarizer. Mathematically this law can be described as:

$I = I_0 cos^2\theta$

Where,

$I_0 =$ Indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer

I = Resulting intensity

$\theta$ = Indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light

From the law of Malus when the light passes at a vertical angle through the first polarizer its intensity is reduced by half therefore

$I_1= \frac{I_0}{2}$

In the case of the second polarizer the angle is directly 60 degrees therefore

$I_2 = I_1 cos^2\theta$

$I_2 = (\frac{I_0}{2} ) cos^2(60)$

$I_2 = 0.125I_0$

In the case of the third polarizer, the angle is reflected on the perpendicular, therefore, its angle of index would be

$\theta_3 = 90-60 = 30$

Then,

$I_3 = I_2 cos^2\theta_3$

$I_3 = 0.125I_0 cos^2 (30)$

$I_3 = 0.09375I_0$

Then the intensity at the end of the polarized lenses will be equivalent to 0.09375 of the initial intensity.
