Unpolarized light with an intensity of 655 W / m2 is incident on a polarizer with an unknown axis. The light then passes through

a second polarizer with has an axis which makes an angle of 81.5° with the vertical. After the light passes through the second polarizer, its intensity has dropped to 163 W / m2. What angle does the first polarizer make with the vertical?

Answer:

1.\theta=29.84^{0}

2.\theta=60.15^{0}

Explanation:

Polarizes axis can create two possible angles with the vertical.

first we have to find the intensity of  first polarizer

which is given as

I=\frac{I_{0} }{2}

I= \frac{655\frac{W}{M^{2} } }{2}

I=327.5\frac{W}{m^{2} }

For a smaller angle for the first polarizer:

According to Malus Law

I_{2} =I_{1} Cos^{2}(90^{0} - \theta)

I_{2} =I_{1} sin^{2}\theta

\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=Sin^{2}\theta

taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{\frac{163}{327.5} } = sin\theta

\theta=Sin^{-1}(0.4977)

\theta=29.84^{0}

For a larger angle for the first polarizer:

According to Malus Law

I_{2} =I_{1} cos^{2}\theta

\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=Cos^{2}\theta

taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{\frac{163}{327.5} } = cos\theta

\theta=Cos^{-1}(0.4977)

\theta=60.15^{0}

A 20-cm long spring is attached to the wall. When pulled horizontally with a force of 100N, the spring stretches to a length of
suter [353]

Answer:

Explanation:

Part 0

All the spring moves is 2 cm

x = 2 cm * [1 m / 100 cm ]

x = 0.020 meters

F = k*d

100N = k * 0.02 m

100 N / 0.02 = k

5000 N / m

Part A

The spring feels a force of 100 N - - 100N = 200 N because each person is pulling in the opposite direction.

F = k * x

200N = 5000 N/m * d

200 / 5000 = d

d = 0.04 meters.

Part B

10.2 kg must be converted to a force as experienced here on earth.

F = m * g

g = 9.81

m = 10.2

F = 10.2 * 9.81

F = 100.06 N

F = k * d

100.06 = 5000 * d

d = 100.06 / 5000

d = 0.02 meters.
