Three ideal polarizing filters are stacked, with the polarizing axis of the second and third filters at 21 degrees and 61 degree

s, respectively, to that of the first. If unpolarized light is incident on the stack, the light has intensity 60.0 w/cm^ 2 after it passes through the stack.
If the incident intensity is kept constant:
1) What is the intensity of the light after it has passed through the stack if the second polarizer is removed?
2) What is the intensity of the light after it has passed through the stack if the third polarizer is removed?

Answer:

1

When second polarizer is removed the intensity after it passes through the stack is    

                    I_f_3 = 27.57 W/cm^2

2 When third  polarizer is removed the intensity after it passes through the stack is    

                I_f_2 = 102.24 W/cm^2

Explanation:

  From the question we are told that

       The angle of the second polarizing to the first is  \theta_2 = 21^o  

        The angle of the third  polarizing to the first is     \theta_3 = 61^o

        The unpolarized light after it pass through the polarizing stack   I_u = 60 W/cm^2

Let the initial intensity of the beam of light before polarization be I_p

Generally when the unpolarized light passes through the first polarizing filter the intensity of light that emerges is mathematically evaluated as

                     I_1 = \frac{I_p}{2}

Now according to Malus’ law the  intensity of light that would emerge from the second polarizing filter is mathematically represented as

                    I_2 = I_1 cos^2 \theta_1

                       = \frac{I_p}{2} cos ^2 \theta_1

The intensity of light that will emerge from the third filter is mathematically represented as

                  I_3 = I_2 cos^2(\theta_2 - \theta_1 )

                          I_3= \frac{I_p}{2}(cos^2 \theta_1)[cos^2(\theta_2 - \theta_1)]

making I_p the subject of the formula

                  I_p = \frac{2L_3}{(cos^2 \theta [cos^2 (\theta_2 - \theta_1)])}

    Note that I_u = I_3 as I_3 is the last emerging intensity of light after it has pass through the polarizing stack

         Substituting values

                      I_p = \frac{2 * 60 }{(cos^2(21) [cos^2 (61-21)])}

                      I_p = \frac{2 * 60 }{(cos^2(21) [cos^2 (40)])}

                           =234.622W/cm^2

When the second    is removed the third polarizer becomes the second and final polarizer so the intensity of light would be mathematically evaluated as

                      I_f_3 = \frac{I_p}{2} cos ^2 \theta_2

I_f_3 is the intensity of the light emerging from the stack

                     

substituting values

                     I_f_3 = \frac{234.622}{2} * cos^2(61)

                       I_f_3 = 27.57 W/cm^2

  When the third polarizer is removed  the  second polarizer becomes the

the final polarizer and the intensity of light emerging from the stack would be  

                  I_f_2 = \frac{I_p}{2} cos ^2 \theta_1

I_f_2 is the intensity of the light emerging from the stack

Substituting values

                  I_f_2 =  \frac{234.622}{2} cos^2 (21)

                     I_f_2 = 102.24 W/cm^2

Monochromatic light with wavelength 588 nm is incident on a slit with width 0.0351 mm. The distance from the slit to a screen is
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

A. Using

Sinစ= y/ L = 0.013/2.7= 0.00481

စ=0.28°

B.here we use

Alpha= πsinစa/lambda

= π x (0.0351)sin(0.28)/588E-9m

= 9.1*10^-2rad

C.we use

I(စ)/Im= (sin alpha/alpha) ²

So

{= (sin0.091/0.091)²

= 3*10^-4

Harman [31]

Answer:  

A) 1.55  

B) 1.55

C) 12.92

D) 34.08

E)  57.82

Explanation:  

The free body diagram attached, R is the radius of the wheel  

Block B is lighter than block A so block A will move upward while A downward with the same acceleration. Since no snipping will occur, the wheel rotates in clockwise direction.  

At the centre of the whee, torque due to B is given by  

{\tau _2} = - {T_{\rm{B}}}R  

Similarly, torque due to A is given by  

{\tau _1} = {T_{\rm{A}}}R  

The sum of torque at the pivot is given by  

\tau = {\tau _1} + {\tau _2}  

Replacing {\tau _1} and {\tau _2} by {T_{\rm{A}}}R and - {T_{\rm{B}}}R respectively yields  

\begin{array}{c}\\\tau = {T_{\rm{A}}}R - {T_{\rm{B}}}R\\\\ = \left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R\\\end{array}  

Substituting I\alpha for \tau in the equation \tau = \left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R  

I\alpha=\left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R  

\frac{I\alpha}{R} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right  

The angular acceleration of the wheel is given by \alpha = \frac{a}{R}  

where a is the linear acceleration  

Substituting \frac{a}{R} for \alpha into equation  

\frac{I\alpha}{R} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right we obtain  

\frac{Ia}{R^2} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right  

Net force on block A is  

{F_{\rm{A}}} = {m_{\rm{A}}}g - {T_{\rm{A}}}  

Net force on block B is  

{F_{\rm{B}}} = {T_{\rm{B}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}g  

Where g is acceleration due to gravity  

Substituting {m_{\rm{B}}}a and {m_{\rm{A}}}a for {F_{\rm{B}}} and {F_{\rm{A}}} respectively into equation \frac{Ia}{R^2} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right and making a the subject we obtain  

\begin{array}{c}\\{m_{\rm{A}}}g - {m_{\rm{A}}}a - \left( {{m_{\rm{B}}}g + {m_{\rm{B}}}a} \right) = \frac{{Ia}}{{{R^2}}}\\\\\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g - \left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)a = \frac{{Ia}}{{{R^2}}}\\\\\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)a = \left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g\\\\a = \frac{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g}}{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)}}\\\end{array}  

Since {m_{\rm{B}}} = 3kg and {m_{\rm{B}}} = 7kg  

g=9.81 and R=0.12m, I=0.22{\rm{ kg}} \cdot {{\rm{m}}^2}  

Substituting these we obtain  

a = \frac{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g}}{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)}}  

\begin{array}{c}\\a = \frac{{\left( {7{\rm{ kg}} - 3{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)}}{{\left( {7{\rm{ kg}} + 3{\rm{ kg}} + \frac{{0.22{\rm{ kg/}}{{\rm{m}}^2}}}{{{{\left( {0.120{\rm{ m}}} \right)}^2}}}} \right)}}\\\\ = 1.55235{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\\\end{array}

Therefore, the linear acceleration of block A is 1.55 {\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}

(B)

For block B

{a_{\rm{B}}} = {a_{\rm{A}}}

Therefore, the acceleration of both blocks A and B are same

1.55 {\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}

(C)

The angular acceleration is \alpha = \frac{a}{R}

\begin{array}{c}\\\alpha = \frac{{1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}}}{{0.120{\rm{ m}}}}\\\\ = 12.92{\rm{ rad/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\\\end{array}

(D)

Tension on left side of cord is calculated using

\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{B}}} = {m_{\rm{B}}}g + {m_{\rm{B}}}a\\\\ = {m_{\rm{B}}}\left( {g + a} \right)\\\end{array}

\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{B}}} = \left( {3{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} + 1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\\\\ = 34.08{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}

(E)

Tension on right side of cord is calculated using

\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{A}}} = {m_{\rm{A}}}g - {m_{\rm{A}}}a\\\\ = {m_{\rm{A}}}\left( {g - a} \right)\\\end{array}

\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{A}}} = \left( {7{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} – 1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\\\\ = 57.82{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}

Is it illegal to attempt gerrymandering​
IRINA_888 [86]

Explanation:

The US Supreme Court has affirmed in Miller v. Johnson (1995) that racial gerrymandering is a violation of constitutional rights and upheld decisions against redistricting that is purposely devised based on race. However, the Supreme Court has struggled as to when partisan gerrymandering occurs (Vieth v.
