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>

GenaCL600 [577]

The beginning development of a star is marked by a supernova explosion, with the gases present in the nebula being forced to scatter. As the star shrinks, radiation of the surface increases and create pressure on the outside shell to push it away and forming a planetary nebula or white dwarf.

Musya8 [376]
At a particular location, when an an increase in the rate at which water moves from the hydrosphere to the atmosphere, an increase in humidity is expected at that location. The term "humidity" generally refers to the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
