A vertically polarized beam of light of intensity 100 W/m2 passes through two ideal polarizers. The transmission axis of the fir

st polarizer makes an angle of 20.0° with the vertical, and the transmission axis of the second one makes an angle of 40.0° with the vertical. What is the intensity of the light after it has passes through both polarizers?

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the Malus Law. Malus's law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized beam of light, which passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:

$I=I_0 cos^2\theta$

Where,

$I_ {0}$ indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer,

I is the resulting intensity, and

$\theta$ indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.

Since we have two objects the law would be,

$I=I_0cos^2\theta_1*cos^2(\theta_2-\theta_1)$

Replacing the values,

$I=100*cos^2(20)*cos^2(40-20)$

$I=100*cos^4(20)$

$I=77.91W/m^2$

Therefore the intesity of the light after it has passes through both polarizers is $77.91W/m^2$

Answer:

$G \sqrt{1 +(\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n}} = 1$

If we square both sides we got:

$G^2 (1+\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n}= 1$

We divide both sides by $G^2$ and we got:

$(1+\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n} = \frac{1}{G^2}$

Now we can apply log on both sides and we got:

$2n ln(1+\frac{f}{f_c}) = ln (\frac{1}{G^2})$

And solving for n we got:

$n = \frac{ ln (\frac{1}{G^2})}{2ln(1+\frac{f}{f_c})}$

And replacing we got:

$n = \frac{ln (\frac{1}{0.1^2})}{2ln(1+\frac{60}{10})}$

$n = \frac{4.60517}{3.8918}=1.18$

And since n needs to be an integer the correct answer would be n=2 for the filter order.

Explanation:

For this case we can use the formula for the Butterworth filter gain given by:

[tec] G = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 +(\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n}}}[/tex]

Where:

G represent the transfer function and we want that G =0.1 since the desired signal is less than 10% of it's value

$f_c = 10 Hz$ represent the corner frequency

$f= 60 Hz$ represent the original frequency

n represent the filter order and that's the variable that we need to find

$G \sqrt{1 +(\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n}} = 1$

If we square both sides we got:

$G^2 (1+\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n}= 1$

We divide both sides by $G^2$ and we got:

$(1+\frac{f}{f_c})^{2n} = \frac{1}{G^2}$

Now we can apply log on both sides and we got:

$2n ln(1+\frac{f}{f_c}) = ln (\frac{1}{G^2})$

And solving for n we got:

$n = \frac{ ln (\frac{1}{G^2})}{2ln(1+\frac{f}{f_c})}$

And replacing we got:

$n = \frac{ln (\frac{1}{0.1^2})}{2ln(1+\frac{60}{10})}$

$n = \frac{4.60517}{3.8918}=1.18$

And since n needs to be an integer the correct answer would be n=2 for the filter order.

g A beam of light incident on a smooth flat mirror at an angle of 25o relative to the surface normal of the mirror. What is the

WINSTONCH [101]

To solve this problem we will resort to the concept of angle of incidence and refraction.

Since it is a reflection on a mirror, the angle provided for refraction will be equal to that of the incidence, that is, 25 °

The angle of reflation is always perpendicular to the surface so it is necessary to find the angle with respect to it.

$\theta = 90-25$

$\theta = 65\°$

Therefore the angle of the reflected beam of light made with the surface normal is 65°

What type of electron is available to form bonds?

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Valence electrons

Explanation:

The valence electrons are found in the outermost shell of an atom. They are the most loosely held electrons found within an atom. These valence electrons are involved and are used to form bonds when atoms combines together.

The energy required to remove these loosely held electrons is relatively low compared to electrons located in the inner orbitals. This is why when atoms combines, they use the outermost electrons to form bonds and mimic stable atoms like those of the noble gases.
