Unpolarized light of intensity I0 is incident on two polarizing filters. The transmitted light intensity is I0/10. What is the a

7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Intensity of unpolarized light = I(0)

After first polarization its intensity becomes I (0)/2

After second polarization its its intensity becomes I(0) /2 Cos²θ where θ is angle between two polaroid

So I₁ =I(0)/2 X Cos²θ .

I₁/I(0) = 1/10 = .5 X Cos²θ

Cos ²θ = 0.2

θ = 63 degree.

alekssr [168]

Answer:The small, individual helium molecules can escape through the tiny holes in the latex far more easily than the conjoined oxygen or nitrogen molecules can. ... This is why your helium balloons deflate faster than the ones you fill with air.

a skydiver jumps out of a plane. describe how gravitational potential energy changes as the skydiver falls. describe how the sky
Oliga [24]

gravitational potential is directly proportional to the height of the object relative to a reference line and is given as

PE = mgh                        

where m = mass of object , g = acceleration due to                    

gravity   and  h = height of the object above the reference line .


as the skydiver falls , its height above the ground decrease and hence the gravitational potential energy of the skydiver decrease.

as per conservation of energy , total energy of the skydiver must remain constant all the time . hence the decrease in potential energy appears as increase in kinetic energy by same amount to keep the total energy constant

KE + PE = Total energy

so as the skydiver falls , it gains speed and hence the kinetic energy of skydiver increase since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed.


when the parachute opens, the skydiver experience force in upward which tries to balance the weight of the skydiver. hence the speed of the skydiver decrease until upward force becomes equal to the downward force. hence the kinetic energy decrease just after the parachute opens

What is the direction of friction if a ball is rolling on the ground?
morpeh [17]
The direction is the same as the direction the ball is moving in. Because of the rolling of the ball, the direction of movement of the surface of the ball is opposite the overall direction of the ball. Since friction will oppose the direction of movement of the surface of the ball, it is in the same direction as the net direction of movement of the ball.
