Unpolarized light is incident upon two polarization filters that do not have their transmission axes aligned. If 21% of the ligh

t passes through, what is the measure of the angle between the transmission axes of the filters?

Answer:

49.6°

Explanation:

I_0 = Unpolarized light

I_2 = Light after passing though second filter = 0.21I_0

Polarized light passing through first filter

I_1=\frac{I_0}{2}

Polarized light passing through second filter

I_2=\frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow 0.21I_0=\frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow cos^2\theta=\frac{0.21I_0}{\frac{I_0}{2}}\\\Rightarrow cos\theta=\sqrt{\frac{0.21I_0}{\frac{I_0}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{0.21I_0}{\frac{I_0}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\sqrt{0.21\times 2}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\sqrt{0.42}\\\Rightarrow \theta=49.6^{\circ}

The angle between the two filters is 49.6°

 <span>let the fsh jump with initial velocity (u) in direction (angle p) with horizontal 

it can cross and reach top of trajectory if its top height h = 1.5m 
and horizontal distance d = (1/2) Range 
--------------------------------------... 
let t be top height time 
at top height, vertical component of its velocity =0 
vy = 0 = u sin p - gt 
t = u sin p/g 
h = [u sin p]*t - 0.5 g[t[^2 
1.5 = u^2 sin^2 p/g - u^2 sin^2 p/2g 
u^2 sin^2 p/2g = 1.5 
u^2 sin^2 p = 1.5*2*9.8 = 29.4 
u sin p = 5.42 m/s >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> V-component 
===================== 
t = HALF the time of flight 
d = (1/2) Range (R) = (1/2) [2 u^2 sin p cos p/g] 
1 = u^2 sin p cos p/g 
u sin p * u cos p = 9.8 
5.42 * u cos p = 9.8 
u cos p = 1.81 m/s >>>>>>>>>>>>> H-component 
check>> 
u = sqrt[u^2 cos^2 p + u^2 sin^2 p] = 5.71 m/s 
u < less than fish's potential jump speed 6.26 m/s 

so it will able to cross</span>

A point on the string of a violin moves up and down in simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 1.24 mm and frequency of 875
mario62 [17]

Using

V = Amplitude x angular frequency(omega)

But omega= 2πf

= 2πx875

=5498.5rad/s

So v= 1.25mm x 5498.5

= 6.82m/s

B. .Acceleration is omega² x radius= 104ms²
