Unpolarized light with an intensity of 655 W / m2 is incident on a polarizer with an unknown axis. The light then passes through

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

1. $\theta=29.84^{0}$

2. $\theta=60.15^{0}$

Explanation:

Polarizes axis can create two possible angles with the vertical.

first we have to find the intensity of first polarizer

which is given as

$I=\frac{I_{0} }{2}$

$I= \frac{655\frac{W}{M^{2} } }{2}$

$I=327.5\frac{W}{m^{2} }$

For a smaller angle for the first polarizer:

According to Malus Law

$I_{2} =I_{1} Cos^{2}(90^{0} - \theta)$

$I_{2} =I_{1} sin^{2}\theta$

$\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=Sin^{2}\theta$

taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{\frac{163}{327.5} } = sin\theta$

$\theta=Sin^{-1}(0.4977)$

$\theta=29.84^{0}$

For a larger angle for the first polarizer:

According to Malus Law

$I_{2} =I_{1} cos^{2}\theta$

$\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=Cos^{2}\theta$

taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{\frac{163}{327.5} } = cos\theta$

$\theta=Cos^{-1}(0.4977)$

$\theta=60.15^{0}$

I stretch a rubber band and "plunk" it to make it vibrate in its fundamental frequency. I then stretch it to twice its length an

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The new frequency (F₂ ) will be related to the old frequency by a factor of one (1)

Explanation:

Fundamental frequency = wave velocity/2L

where;

L is the length of the stretched rubber

Wave velocity = $\sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{M}{L}}}$

Frequency (F₁) = $\frac{\sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{M}{L}}}}{2*L}$

To obtain the new frequency with respect to the old frequency, we consider the conditions stated in the question.

Given:

L₂ =2L₁ = 2L

T₂ = 2T₁ = 2T

(M/L)₂ = 0.5(M/L)₁ = 0.5(M/L)

F₂ = $\frac{\sqrt{\frac{2T}{0.5(\frac{M}{L})}}}{4*L} = \frac{\sqrt{4(\frac{T}{\frac{M}{L}}})}{4*L} = \frac{2}{2} [\frac{\sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{M}{L}}}}{2*L}] = F_1$

Therefore, the new frequency (F₂ ) will be related to the old frequency by a factor of one (1).

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Sound waves are not able to travel in a vacuum, sound requires a medium such as air or a solid for example. Satellites are indeed in space, but radio waves are not sound waves they are a form of light. Light can travel in a vacuum so the messages that satellites beam back to Earth are light waves not sound waves, that is why it is possible.
