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°

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

21.28 m

Explanation:

height, h = 71 m

velocity of raft, v = 5.6 m/s

let the time taken by the stone to reach to raft is t.

use second equation of motion for stone

h = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

u = 0 m/s, h = 71 m, g = 9.8 m/s^2

71 = 0 + 0.5 x 9.8 x t^2

t = 3.8 s

Horizontal distance traveled by the raft in time t

d = v x t = 5.6 x 3.8 = 21.28 m

Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases. in other words, there is more air pushing down on you at sea level, and th
Nutka1998 [239]
At sea level, the size amid the 2 alkanes lets for pentane to simmer at a lower temperature than hexane. Phenol has a higher boiling point due to hydrogen bonding High altitude would have the same order while low pressure only cuts the temperature at which a solvent boils. Boiling has to do with molecular size, the occurrence/nonappearance of hydrogen bonds, and other steric issues.
So the answer would be pentane high altitude, hexane high altitude, hexane sea level, hexanol sea level. In order of boil first to boil last. This is clarified because altitude has a better effect on vapor pressure (and hence boiling points) than inter-molecular forces.
