When light hits an object, that object absorbs some light, and reflects other light.  A blue recycle bin absorbs red and green light, but reflects blue light.  The blue light then hits your retina at the back of your eye and a signal is sent to the visual cortex of your brain.  Your brain then perceives this signal as <em>colour.</em>

The average intensity of light emerging from a polarizing sheet is 0.708 W/m2, and that of the horizontally polarized light inci
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Angle θ = 30.82°

Explanation:

From Malus’s law, since the intensity of a wave is proportional to its amplitude squared, the intensity I of the transmitted wave is related to the incident wave by; I = I_o cos²θ

where;

I_o is the intensity of the polarized wave before passing through the filter.

In this question,

I is 0.708 W/m²

While I_o is 0.960 W/m²

Thus, plugging in these values into the equation, we have;

0.708 W/m² = 0.960 W/m² •cos²θ

Thus, cos²θ = 0.708 W/m²/0.960 W/m²

cos²θ = 0.7375

Cos θ = √0.7375

Cos θ = 0.8588

θ = Cos^(-1)0.8588

θ = 30.82°

A student makes the following statement
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The current is not used up. The electrons flow through the entire circuit and this travel is the current. They flow until they are not charged anymore. That is also why the circuit must be closed or else electrons would escape not just light it up for a second then go out.
