Unpolarized light is incident onto three polarizers with their transmission axes oriented in such a way that the first and the l

ast make a 39 angle between them, and the middle one makes the same angle with the first and the last one. Find the percentage of the incident light which passes through these three polarizers.

Answer:

 I₃ = I₀ 0.395

Explanation:

Polarized light passing through a polarizer must comply with Malus's law

         I = I₀ cos² θ

Before starting, let's analyze the angle between the polarizers, the second has the same angle with the first and the third, so it is at the midpoint

         θ₂ = 39/2 = 19.5

now let's analyze the light that passes through each polarizer, as the incident is unpolarized through the first polarizer half the intensity comes out

          I₁ = I₀ / 2

the second polarizer comes out

          I₂ = I₁ cos² 19.5

          I₂ = I₀ / 2 cos² 19.5

           

through the third polarized the intensity passes

          I₃ = I₂ cos² 19.5

          I₃ = (I₀ /2 cos² 19.5) cos² 19.5

           

          I₃ = I₀ 0.395

: In heavy rushIn heavy rush-hour traffic you drive in a straight line at 12 m/s for 1.5 minutes, then you have to stop for 3.5
zhuklara [117]
Guessing you want the average speed. We can multiple each speed by the time we spent going that speed, and them all together and then divide by the total time we spent in traffic to get the average speed. We spent a total of 7.5 minutes in traffic, so average speed  = (12*1.5+0*3.5+15*2.5)/7.5 = 7.4 m/s

Select all of the statements that are true.
natta225 [31]

The correct statements are "Each orbit holds a fixed number of electrons" and "The n=1 orbit can only hold two electrons." According to the Bohr model, the maximum number of electrons that can occupy an orbit is given by 2n^2, where n is the number of the orbit. For instance, when n=1 it means 2n^2= 2(1)^2=2. This particular orbit can only hold up to two electrons. Even though the electrons can gain energy and move to higher orbits or electrons from higher orbits can lose energy and drop to the n=1 level, the energy level would not allow more electrons to enter the orbit once it is full. Again the octet rule, which states that atoms achieve stability by having 8 valence electrons, limits the maximum number of electrons that can be occupied by an orbit. The gain and loss of electrons is done to achieve the noble gas configuration and once that is reached no more electron can be added to an orbit
