To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the law of Malus which describes the change in the Intensity of Light when it crosses a polarized surface.

Mathematically the expression is given as

$I = I_0 cos^2\theta$

Where,

$I_0$ = Initial Intensity

I = Final Intensity after pass through the polarizer

$\theta$ = Angle between the polarizer and the light

Since it is sought to reduce the intensity by half the relationship between the two intensities will be given as

$\frac{I}{I_0} = \frac{1}{2}$

Using the Malus Law we have,

$I = I_0 cos^2\theta$

$cos^2\theta = \frac{I}{I_0}$

$cos^2\theta = \frac{1}{2}$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})^2$

$\theta = 75.52\°$

Angle with respect to maximum is $90-75.52 = 14.48\°$

What is one way that fission and fusion are similar?

Kazeer [188]

They both involve atoms. Other than that they're the exact opposite of each other. Fusion is putting atoms together. Fission is taking them apart.

A flat coil having 160 turns, each with an area of 0.20 m 2, is placed with the plane of its area perpendicular to a magnetic fi

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

10.2 Watt

Explanation:

$N$ = number of turns in flat coil = 160

$A$ = area = 0.20 m²

B₀= initial magnetic field = 0.40 T

$B$ = final magnetic field = - 0.40 T

Change in magnetic field is given as

ΔB = B - B₀ = - 0.40 - 0.40 = - 0.80 T

$t$ = time taken for the magnetic field to change = 2.0 s

Induced emf is given as

$E = \frac{- N A \Delta B}{t}$

$E = \frac{- (160) (0.20) (- 0.80)}{2}$

$E$ = 12.8 volts

$R$ = Resistance of the coil = 16 Ω

Power is given as

$P = \frac{E^{2}}{R}$

$P = \frac{(12.8)^{2}}{16}$

$P$ = 10.2 Watt
