Answer:

answer is A corresponding to 60 W

Explanation:

The polarization phenomenon is descriptor Malus's law

      I = I₀ cos² θ

Where I and Io are the transmitted and incident intensities, respectively, θ  is the angle between the direction of polarization of the light and the polarizer.

Unpolarized light strikes the first polarizer and half of it is transmitted, which has the polarization direction of the polarizer

      I₁ = ½ I₀

      I₁ = ½ 300

      I₁ = 150 W

The transmission by the second polarizer (P2) is

      I₂ = I₁ cos² θ 1

      I₂ = 150 cos² 45

      I₂ = 75 W

The transmission of the third polarizer (P3)

     I₃ = I₂ cos² θ 2

     I₃ = 75 cos² 30

     I₃ = 56.25 W

This is the light transmitted by the 56 W system, the closest answer is A corresponding to 60 W

andre [41]

Answer:

Radio telescopes are LARGER than optical telescopes and this is because radio wavelengths  are much longer than optical wavelengths

Explanation:

In general radio telescopes are LARGER than optical telescopes and this is because radio wavelengths  are much longer than optical wavelengths.

The main difference between radio telescopes and other telescopes especially optical telescopes is based on size and wavelength of both telescopes

A book is falling from the top shelf of a bookcase. Which statement correctly describes the change in the energy of the book? a.
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Correct answer letter b.

Explanation:

When the book is on the top shelf of the bookcase, it just only gravitational potential energy, due to the gravitational field and the kinetic energy at this point is zero because the book is at rest.

Now, when the book starts falling, all the potential energy will transform into the kinetic energy. It happens, thanks to the conservation of the energy,that says energy can neither be created nor destroyed, energy can only be transferred or changed from one form to another.

Let's recall that the gravitational potential energy depends on the object's position, so when the book falls, the magnitude of the position decreases and the speed of this object increases.

Therefore, the potential energy of the book decreases as kinetic energy increases.

Correct answer letter b.

I hope it helps you!

Why does the cannon move backward when the cannon ball is shot?
seropon [69]

Answer:

This came to mind

Explanation:

when a cannon fires (in real life or in the movies) have noticed that the cannon recoils, sliding backwards after the explosion. Again, a non-zero net force on the cannon changes its momentum.

Why is it important that home circuits are wired with parallel circuits?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Parallel circuits are used in homes because the loads can be operated independently of each other. That means that you can have an electrical item turned on and running without needing to have all of the other loads on and running as well.
