Unpolarized light is incident upon two ideal polarizing filters that do not have their transmission axes aligned. If 19% of the

light passes through this combination, what is the angle between the transmission axes of the two filters?

Answer:

51.94°

Explanation:

I_0 = Unpolarized light

I_2 = Light after passing though second filter = 0.19I_0

Polarized light passing through first filter

I_1=\frac{I_0}{2}

Polarized light passing through second filter

I_2=\frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow 0.19I_0=\frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow cos^2\theta=\frac{0.19I_0}{\frac{I_0}{2}}\\\Rightarrow cos\theta=\sqrt{\frac{0.19I_0}{\frac{I_0}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{0.19I_0}{\frac{I_0}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\sqrt{0.19\times 2}\\\Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}\sqrt{0.38}\\\Rightarrow \theta=51.94^{\circ}

The angle between the two filters is 51.94°

               ( 3 yr) · (186,282.397 mile/s) · (86,400 s/day) · (365 day/yr)

           =  (3 · 186,282.397 · 86,400 · 365)  mile

           =      1.762380502 x 10¹³  miles

Standing waves can ruin the acoustics of a concert hall if there is excessive reflection of the sound waves that the performers
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The answer to the questions is;

In terms of standing waves, the listener moves from a location with high amplitude to one with lower amplitude or vibration (anti-node to node)

The distance 4.1 cm is equivalent to λ/4

Explanation:

For standing waves we have is a stationary wave comprising of two opposite direction moving waves that have equal amplitude and frequency, resulting in the superimposition of the waves. As such certain points are fixed along the wave path that is the peaks amplitude of the wave oscillation is constant at a particular point. A node occurring at a point and an anti-node occurring at another fixed point

When the listener moves 4.1 cm he or she has left the anti-node to the node hence the faintness of the sound

The distance from the node to the anti-node is 1/4 wavelength, or 1/4×λ

Therefore 4.1 cm is λ/4

Question 6. B) and c)
maks197457 [2]
The formula for both is v(t) = v0 + a*t

b) v(8) = 0 + 6m/s^2 *8s = 48 m/s

now we know the beginning (2) and end speed (14), but not the time:

c) 14 = 2 + 1.5*t => t = (14-2)/1.5 = 8 seconds
