A beam of unpolarized light shines on a stack of five ideal polarizers, set up so that the angles between the polarization axes

of pairs of adjacent polarizers are all equal. The intensity of the transmitted beam is reduced from the intensity of the initial beam by a factor of phi=0.277 . Find the angle theta between the axes of each pair of adjacent polarizers.

Answer:

21.75

Explanation:

n = number of polarizers through which light pass through = 5

\theta = Angle between each pair of adjacent polarizers

I_{o} = Intensity of unpolarized light

I_{n} = Intensity of transmitted beam after passing all polarizers

It is given that

\frac{I_{n}}{I_{o}}= 0.277

we know that the intensity of light after passing through "n" polarizers is given as

I_{n} = (0.5) I_{o} Cos^{2n-2}\theta

\frac{I_{n}}{I_{o}} = (0.5) Cos^{2n-2}\theta

inserting the values

0.277 = (0.5)Cos^{2(5)-2}\theta

0.554 = Cos^{8}\theta

Cos\theta = 0.9288

\theta = Cos^{-1}(0.9288)

\theta = 21.75

330 g of water at 55°c are poured into an 855 g aluminum container with an initial temperature of 10°
Olenka [21]
The final temperature of the system is 32.5°
we know,  H = mcT 
where, H = Heat content of the body 
m = Mass,
c = Specific heat
T = Change in temperature
According to to the Principle of Calorimetry 

The net heat remains constant i.e. 
⇒ the heat given by water = heat accepted by the aluminum container.
⇒ 330 x 1 x (45 - T) = 855 x \frac{900}{4200} x (T - 10) 

⇒ 14,850 - 330T = 183.21T  - 1832 

⇒ - 513.21 T = - 16682

or T = 32.5°

The magnitude of displacements a and b are 3m and 4m, respectively, c=a+b. What is the magnitude of c if the angel between a and
AysviL [449]

Answer:

(a) 7 m

(b) 1  m

Explanation:

Given:

The magnitude of displacement  vector 'a' is 3 m

The magnitude of displacement vector 'b' is 4 m.

The vector 'c' is the vector sum of vectors 'a' and 'b'.

(a)

Now, when the angle between the vectors is 0°, it means that the vectors are in the same direction. When vectors are in the same direction, then their resultant magnitude is simply the sum of their magnitudes.

So, magnitude of 'c' when 'a' and 'b' are in same direction is given as:

|\overrightarrow c|=|\overrightarrow a|+|\overrightarrow b|\\\\|\overrightarrow c|=3 + 4 = 7\ m

Therefore, the magnitude of vector 'c' is 7 m when angle between 'a' and 'b' is 0°.

(b)

When the angle between the vectors is 180°, it means that the vectors are exactly in the opposite direction. When the vectors are in opposite direction, then their resultant magnitude is the subtraction of their magnitudes.

So, magnitude of 'c' when 'a' and 'b' are in opposite direction is:

|\overrightarrow c|=||\overrightarrow a|-|\overrightarrow b||\\\\|\overrightarrow c|=|3 - 4| = 1\ m

Therefore, the magnitude of vector 'c' is 1 m when angle between 'a' and 'b' is 180°.

A gardener pushes a wheelbarrow around the edges of a lawn. When she has finished, she is 5 m from her starting point. She has t
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Work done by the gardner is 500 J

Explanation:

As we know that the gardner apply force perpendicular upward by magnitude 300 N and along the floor horizontal force is 100 N

so we have

F = 100 \hat i + 300 \hat j

now the displacement of the gardner along the floor is

d = 5\hat i

now work done is given as

W = F. d

so we have

W = (100 \hat i + 300 \hat j). (5\hat i)

W = 500 J
