The drawing shows four sheets of polarizing material, each with its transmission axis oriented differently. Light that is polari
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

When sheet A is removed

I_B=32\cos^230=24W/m^2\\\\I_C=24 \cos^260=6W/m^2\\\\I_D=6\cos^230=4.5W/m^2

When sheet B is removed

I_A=32\cos^20=32W/m^2\\\\I_C=24 \cos^290=0W/m^2\\\\I_D=0\cos^230=0W/m^2

When sheet C is removed

I_A=32\cos^20=32W/m^2\\\\I_D=32 \cos^230=24W/m^2\\\\I_B=24\cos^290=0W/m^2

When sheet D is removed

I_A=32\cos^20=32W/m^2\\\\I_B=32\cos^230=24W/m^2\\\\I_C=24\cos^260=6W/m^2

(4) Use the preliminary observations to answer these questions; Compared to no polarizer or analyzer in the optical path, by wha
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

a)   I = I₀/2, b)  I = I₀/2 cos² θ

Explanation:

To answer these questions, let's analyze a little the way of working of a polarized

* When a non-polarized light hits a polarizer, the electric field that is not in the direction of the polarizer is absorbed, so the transmitted light is

          i = I₀ / 2

and is polarized in the direction of the polarizer

* when a polarized light reaches the analyzer it must comply with Malus's law

          I = I₁ cos² θ

where the angle is between the polarized light and the analyzer.

With this, let's answer the questions

a) When a polarizer is placed in the non-polarized light path, half of it is absorbed and only the light that has polarization in the direction of the polarizer is transmitted with an intensity of

                  I = I₀/2

b) when a polarizer and an analyzer are fitted, the intensity of the light transmitted by the analyzer is

                I = I₀/2 cos² θ

where the final value depends on the angle between the polarizer and the analyzer.

Let's look at two extreme cases

θ = 0          I = Io / 2

θ = 90º      I = 0

This is a graph of a car speeding up and then reaching a constant speed of 12m /s. After it finishes speeding up, how far does t
aleksley [76]

Answer:

After it finishes speeding up, the car goes 72 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must first understand the graphics. It is clear that in the last 6 seconds, that is, from the fourth to the tenth second, the car moves at a constant speed.

Therefore in this time interval, the car moves at a constant speed.

With the following equation of kinematics, we can calculate the distance traveled.

x=x_{o}+v*t \\

where:

x = final point [m]

x₀ = initial point [m]

v = constant velocity = 12 [m/s]

t = time = 6 [s]

Now replacing we have:

x-x_{o} = 12*6\\x-x_{o}=72 [m]
