Three polarizing filters are stacked with the polarizing axes of the second and third at 45.0∘ and 90.0∘, respectively, with

that of the first. (a) If unpolarized light of intensity I0 is incident on the stack, find the intensity and state of polarization of light emerging from each filter. (b) If the second filter is removed, what is the intensity of the light emerging from each remaining filter?

Answer:

a) the intensity of the polarization of light emerging from each filter is <em>I₀/2, </em>0.25 <em>I₀ </em>and 0.125 <em>I₀ </em>

b) the intensity of light emerging from the each remaining filter is <em>I₀ / 2 </em>and <em>0.</em>

Explanation:

a) The intensity of the incident light is <em>I₀ </em>and therefore the intensity of light transmitted through the first filter is

<em>I₁ = I₀ / 2</em>

The polarizing direction will be parallel to the axis of the first filter intensity of light transmitted through the second filter:

<em>I₂</em> = <em>I₁</em> cos²(θ₁)

<em />

<em>I₂</em> =  (<em>I₀ </em>/ 2) cos²(45°)

<em>I₂</em> = 0.25 <em>I₀</em>

<em />

<em />

Therefore, the polarizing direction will be at 45° to the axis of the first filter. The light intensity transmitted through the filter will be

<em>I₃</em> = <em>I₂</em> cos²(θ₂ - θ₁)

<em>I₃ </em>= <em>I₂</em> cos²(90 - 45)

<em />

<em>I₃ </em>= <em>I₂</em> cos²(45)

<em>I₃ </em>= 0.25 <em>I₀ </em>cos²(45)

<em>I₃ </em>= 0.125 <em>I₀ </em>

<em />

Therefore, the intensity of the polarization of light emerging from each filter is <em>I₀/2, </em>0.25 <em>I₀ </em>and 0.125 <em>I₀ </em>

<em />

b)  the intensity of light transmitted through the first filter is

<em>I</em>₁ = <em>I₀ </em>/ 2

when the second filter is removed.

The intensity of light that is transmitted through the third filter is :

<em>I₃' </em>= <em>I</em>₁ cos²(90)

<em>I₃'  </em>= (<em>I₀ </em>/ 2)(0)

<em>I₃'  </em>= 0

Therefore, the intensity of light emerging from the each remaining filter is     <em>I₀ / 2 </em>and <em>0.</em>

aksik [14]

Answer:

Inside the film the wavelength will be λ/n

For constructive interference to occur the film must be λf/4 thick where λf is the wavelength of the light in the film - there will be a 180 degree phase shift at the water/film interface since the index of refraction of the film is greater than that of water - and the light has to travel λ/2 inside the film for constructive interference to occur

280 nm / 1.6 * 4 = 700 nm is the greatest wavelength allowed

Note that 700 nm is also the upper wavelength of the visible spectrum

Answer:

D) Aerobic respiration is very efficient and produces a large amount of energy, while anaerobic respiration is not very efficient and produces a small amount of energy.

Explanation:

Anaerobic respiration, which uses glucose and no oxygen, produces less energy compared to aerobic respiration.

Fill in the blank.<br> _______________, not velocity, is used to calculate the average acceleration.
Ainat [17]

Explanation:

Calculating acceleration is complicated if both speed and direction are changing or if you want to know acceleration at any given instant in time. However, it’s relatively easy to calculate average acceleration over a period of time when only speed is changing. Then acceleration is the change in velocity (represented by Δv) divided by the change in time (represented by Δt):

acceleration=ΔvΔt
