Answer:

45 degree

Explanation:

Let the initial intensity is Io and the angle between the polarizer and the axis of filter is θ.

The intensity of light passing after filter is 0.5 Io.

By using the law of Malus,

I=I_{0} Cos^{2}\theta

0.5I_{0}=I_{0} Cos^{2}\theta

0.5= Cos^{2}\theta

0.707= Cos\theta

θ = 45 degree

Hydroelectric dams use ------- to produce electricity. gravitational potential energy of falling water
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

Hydroelectric dams are the power plants which generates electricity by using the energy of falling water from a great height.

A the water is stored in big reservoirs and at a great height, it contain lot of potential energy due to the height. As it falls downwards, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy of the water. this kinetic energy of the falling water is used to run the turbine, and then the electric energy is generated.

So, in hydroelectric power stations, the potential energy of water is converted into the electric energy.

Name two things radio waves have in common with visible light
kondaur [170]
Radio waves and visible light, as we perceive it, are both part of the EM spectrum. The only difference between them in terms of our perception is that we don't have receptors to 'see' radio waves. That's where radio receivers come into the picture*, to convert radio waves into sound impulses that we can hear.

A nautical mile is 6076 feet, and 1 knot is a unit of speed equal to 1 nautical mile/hour. How fast is a boat going 8 knots goin
mezya [45]

Answer:

The speed of the boat is equal to 13.50 ft/s.

Explanation:

given,

1  nautical mile = 6076 ft

1 knot = 1 nautical mile /hour

1 knot = 6076 ft/hr

speed of boat = 8 knots

 8 knots = 8 nautical mile /hour

               =8 \times \dfrac{6076\ ft}{1\nautical\ mile}\times \dfrac{1\ hour}{60\times 60\ s}

               = 13.50 ft/s

The speed of the boat is equal to 13.50 ft/s.
