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 $77.91W/m^2$

What happens in a global convection cell? apex

zysi [14]

Answer:

In a global convection cell less –dense air at the equator rises and flows towards the poles. And from pole, the dense air sinks down and flows back towards the equator.... This movement of air is also supported by the Earth's rotation known as Coriolis Effect.

What is the wavelength, in nm, of the line in the hydrogen spectrum when one n value is 3 and the other n value is 6?

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

$\lambda=1090nm$

Explanation:

Rydberg formula is used to calculate the wavelengths of the spectral lines of many chemical elements. For the hydrogen, is defined as:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H(\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2})$

Where $R_H$ is the Rydberg constant for hydrogen and $n_1$ , $n_2$ are the lower energy state and the higher energy state, respectively.

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=1.10*10^{7}m^{-1}(\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{6^2})\\\frac{1}{\lambda}=9.17*10^{5}m^{-1}\\\lambda=\frac{1}{1.09*10^{6}m^{-1}}\\\lambda=1.09*10^{-6}m*\frac{10^{9}nm}{1m}\\\lambda=1090nm$
