Is a process that modifies light waves so they vibrate in a single plane

The process you're fishing for is "polarization", but that's a

misleading description.

Polarization doesn't do anything to change the light waves. 

It simply filters out (absorbs, as with a polarizing filter) the

light waves that aren't vibrating in the desired plane, and

allows only those that are to pass.

The intensity of a light beam is always reduced after

polarizing it, because much (most) of the original light

has been removed.

A laser light source may be thought of as an exception,

since everything coming out of the laser is polarized.

Which element’s atoms have the greatest average number of neutrons?Which element’s atoms have the greatest average number of neu
Nutka1998 [239]
When an atom has a high neutron-to-proton ration, that atom is very unstable and thus, radioactive. The more neutrons an atom has, the more radioactive it is. So,it is only logical that the element with the greatest number of neutrons is Uranium. It has 140 neutrons.

An 8 g bullet leaves the muzzle of a rifle with
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: 1872 N

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using one of the Kinematics equations and Newton's second law of motion:

V^{2}=V_{o}^{2} + 2ad (1)

F=ma (2)

Where:

V=611.9 m/s is the bullet's final speed (when it leaves the muzzle)

V_{o}=0 is the bullet's initial speed (at rest)

a is the bullet's acceleration

d=0.8 m is the distance traveled by the bullet before leaving the muzzle

F is the force

m=8 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.008 kg is the mass of the bullet

Knowing this, let's begin by isolating a from (1):

a=\frac{V^{2}}{2d} (3)

a=\frac{(611.9 m/s)^{2}}{2(0.8 m)} (4)

a=234013.5063 m/s^{2} \approx 2.34(10)^{5} m/s^{2} (5)

Substituting (5) in (2):

F=(0.008 kg)(2.34(10)^{5} m/s^{2}) (6)

Finally:

F=1872 N
