To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the law of Malus which describes the change in the Intensity of Light when it crosses a polarized surface.
Mathematically the expression is given as

Where,
= Initial Intensity
I = Final Intensity after pass through the polarizer
= Angle between the polarizer and the light
Since it is sought to reduce the intensity by half the relationship between the two intensities will be given as

Using the Malus Law we have,





Angle with respect to maximum is 
Answer:
weight at height = 100 N .
Explanation:
The problem relates to variation of weight due to change in height .
Let g₀ and g₁ be acceleration due to gravity , m is mass of the object .
At the surface :
Applying Newton's law of gravitation
mg₀ = G Mm / R²
At height h from centre
mg₁ = G Mm /h²
Given mg₀ = 400 N
400 = G Mm / R²
400 = G Mm / (6400 x 10³ )²
G Mm = 400 x (6400 x 10³ )²
At height h from centre
mg₁ = 400 x (6400 x 10³ )²/ ( 2 x 6400 x 10³)²
= 400 / 4
= 100 N .
weight at height = 100 N
Well, that would be a plane (flat) mirror
<span>provided that </span>
<span>the mirror and the object are oriented parallel to each other</span>
question 2 answer is ALL OF THE ABOVE
question 3 answer is WARM AND MOIST.
