A horizontal beam of light of intensity 25 W/m2 is sent through two polarizing sheets. The polarizing direction of the first mak
Zina [86]

Answer:

option (B)

Explanation:

Intensity of unpolarised light, I = 25 W/m^2

When it passes from first polarisr, the intensity of light becomes

I'=\frac{I_{0}}{2}=\frac{25}{2}=12.5 W/m^{2}

Let the intensity of light as it passes from second polariser is I''.

According to the law of Malus

I'' = I' Cos^{2}\theta

Where, θ be the angle between the axis first polariser and the second polariser.

I'' = 12.5\times Cos^{2}15

I'' = 11.66 W/m^2

I'' = 11.7 W/m^2

In free fall, the ___________ of velocity of the object changes
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Magnitude and direction.

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

Gravity is considered to be a universal force of attraction which acts between all objects that has both mass, energy and occupy space. Therefore, it acts in such a way as to bring objects together.

Additionally, the gravity of earth makes it possible for all physical objects to possess weight.

Hence, in free fall, the magnitude and direction of velocity of the object changes.
