Three perfectly polarizing sheets are spaced 2?cm {\rm cm} apart and in parallel planes. The transmission axis of the second she

et is 28 ? \deg relative to the first one. The transmission axis of the third sheet is 90 ? ^\circ relative to the first one. Unpolarized light impinges on the first polarizing sheet.
What percent of this light is transmitted out through the third polarizer?

Answer:

I₃/Io % = 0.8.59

Explanation:

A polarizer is a complaint sheet for light in the polarization direction and blocks the perpendicular one. When we use two polarizers the transmission between them is described by Malus's law

      I = I₀ cos² θ

Let's apply the previous exposures in our case, the light is indicatively not polarized, so the first polarized lets half of the light pass

      I₁ = ½ I₀

The light transmitted by the second polarizer

     I₂ = I₁ cos²  θ

     I₂ = (½ I₀) cos2 28

The transmission by the polarizing  third is

     I₃ = I₂ cos²  θ₃    

The angle of the third polarizer with respect to the second is

     θ₃ = 90-28

      θ₃ = 62º

I₃ = (½ I₀ cos² 28 cos² 62)

Let's calculate

I₃ = Io ½ 0.7796 0.2204

I₃ = Io 0.0859

I₃/Io= 0.0859    100

I₃/Io % = 0.8.59

a trampoline launches a 50kg person 2m into the air. if the springs push with 1960N of force, how much displacement was there in
Lina20 [59]

Answer: 0.5 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the person is m=50\ kg

Trampoline launches the person into the air up to height of h=2\ m

Force experience by springs is F=1960\ N

Here, the work done on displacing the springs is equivalent to the Potential energy acquired by the person i.e.

\Rightarrow F\cdot x=mgh\quad [\text{x=displacement of the trampoline}]\\\\\text{Insert the values}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{50\times 9.8\times 2}{1960}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{980}{1960}\\\\\Rightarrow x=0.5\ m

sukhopar [10]

Complete Question

A radio technician measures the frequency of an AM radio transmitter. The frequency is 14603 kHz . What is the frequency in megahertz? Write your answer as a decimal.

Answer:

The value is  x =  14.6 \  MHz

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  frequency is  f =  14603  \  kHz = 14603 *1000 = 14603000 \ Hz

Generally  

       1 Hz \to  1.0 *10^{-6} \  MHz

       14603000 \ Hz  \to x MHz

=>   x =  \frac{14603000 *  1.0*10^{-6}}{1 }

=>    x =  14.6 \  MHz

How do you get 5 minutes to seconds
sergiy2304 [10]
There are 60 seconds in a minute.

This means that 5 minutes would be 60 times 5.
60×5 = 300

There are 300 seconds in 5 minutes.

How do electrons flow through a wire
aniked [119]

Every atom has electrons. When you add new electrons to the wire, they will be passed on to an atom. The electrons keep passing from atom to atom until it reaches the light source, basically. It's kinda like that one song "100 jugs of milk" or whatever it's called. Each atom passes the atom next to it an electron.
