Answer:

A. 0.20 unpolarized and 0.80 plane polarized.

Explanation:

After passing through polaroid sheet , unpolarised portion will get reduced by half . So this portion becomes .20/ 2 = 0.10

The polarized portion can face two situation depending upon the angle of the polaroid.

It may either be cut off to zero. So total intensity of transmitted light  wil be .10 + 0 = .10

It may or be passed fully . In that case total intensity of transmitted light will become 0 .10 +0.80 =0.90

Ratio of these two light of maximum and minimum intensity is 0.90 / 0.10 = 9.

C. A could be ruby (speed of light = 170,000 km/s); B could be diamond (speed of light = 120,000 km/s).

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon that occurs when a light rays crosses the boundary between two different mediums.

When this occurs, the light wave changes speed and also direction, according to Snell's law:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2 (1)

where

n_1 is the index of refraction of the first medium

n_2 is the index of refraction of the second medium

\theta_1 is the angle of incidence (the angle between the incident ray and the normal to the boundary)

\theta_2 is the angle of refraction (the angle between the refracted ray and the normal to the boundary)

The index of refraction is the ratio between the speed of light in a vacuum (c) and the speed of light in the medium (v):

n=\frac{c}{v}

Using this definition, we can rewrite eq.(1) as

\frac{\sin \theta_2}{\sin \theta_1} = \frac{v_2}{v_1}

Where v_2 is the speed of light in the 2nd medium and v_1 the speed of light in the 1st medium.

Now let's analyze the situation represented in the figure: we see that as the light ray enters the 2nd medium, it bends towards the normal, this means that the angle of refraction is smaller than the angle of incidence:

\theta_2 < \theta_1

This means that

\frac{\sin \theta_2}{\sin \theta_1}

And therefore,

\frac{v_2}{v_1}

So, the speed of light in the second medium is smaller than the speed of light in the first medium: this occurs only in option C), which is therefore the correct choice.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]
  • since force=massxacceleration
  • therefore acceleration=force/mass
  • the resultant force=the acting force on the object-the frictional force
  • the resultant force=64-36=28N
  • therefore the acceleration=28/14=2m/sec^2
