Unpolarized light is incident on a series of polarizing disks. We have three polarizers A, B and C have transmission axes that m

ake angles of 30, 90 and 180 degrees, respectively, measured CW from the vertical y-axis. You want to maximize the relative transmission and can place them in any order. What is the maximum possible relative transmission (is. Final/I0) passing through a series of all three polarizers

Answer:

Explanation:

Formula for intensity of light after transmission for unpolarised light is

I₀ / 2 , We shall take up 180 degree disk first .

For second transmission , the formula is

I = I₀ Cos²θ , θ is angle between axis of polarizer and axis of vibration.

If we take up 30 degree polariser

I = I₀ / 2  Cos²( 180 - 30 )

= .375 I₀

For third transmission

I_ final = .375 I₀  x cos( 90 - 30 )

= .1875  I₀

Final/I₀ = .1875

When using a calorimeter, the initial temperature of a metal is 70.4C. The initial temperature of the water is 23.6C. At the end
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

1) 29.8 C

At the beginning, the metal is at higher temperature (70.4 C) while the water is at lower temperature (23.6 C). When they are put in contact, the metal transfers heat to the water, until they reach thermal equilibrium: at thermal equilibrium the two objects (the metal and the water have same temperature). Therefore, since the temperature of the water at thermal equilibrium is 29.8 C, the final temperature of the metal must be the same (29.8 C).

2) 6.2 C

The temperature change of the water is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:

\Delta T = T_f - T_i

where

T_f = 29.8 C\\T_i = 23.6 C

Substituting into the formula,

\Delta T=29.8 C-23.6 C=6.2 C

And the positive sign means that the temperature of the water has increased.

3) -40.6 C

The temperature change of the metal is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:

\Delta T = T_f - T_i

where

T_f = 29.8 C\\T_i = 70.4 C

Substituting into the formula,

\Delta T=29.8 C-70.4 C=-40.6 C

And the negative sign means the temperature of the metal has decreased.

Name one situation in which you might notice the reflection of a wave
Lady bird [3.3K]

<u>Answer:</u>

A perfect example of wave reflection is an <u>echo</u>.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A wave reflection takes place when waves cannot pass through a surface and in turn they bounce back. It is not necessary that wave reflections can only happen with sound waves, they can also take place in light waves. Also, the waves which are reflected have the same frequency as the original wave, but their direction is different. When a wave strikes an object in the same angle, they bounce back straight but when they hit an object with different angle, their direction changes.

Kathy tests her new sports car by racing with Stan, an experienced racer. Both start from rest, but Kathy leaves the starting li
Fofino [41]

Answer:

(a) t=3.87 s :time at which Kathy overtakes Stan

(b) d=37.36 m

(c) vf₁ = 15.097 m/s : Stan's final speed

    vf₂ = 19.31 m/s : Kathy's final speed

Explanation:

kinematic analysis

Because Kathy and Stan move with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formulas:

vf= v₀+at Formula (1)

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d Formula (2)

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² Formula (3)

Where:  

d:displacement in meters (m)  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s²

Nomenclature

d₁: Stan displacement   

t₁ :  Stan time

v₀₁: Stan initial speed

vf₁: Stan final speed

a₁:  Stan acceleration

d₂: car displacement   

t₂ : Kathy time

v₀₂: Kathy initial speed

vf₂: Kathy final speed

a₂:  Kathy acceleration

Data

v₀₁ = 0

v₀₂ = 0

a₁ = 3.1 m/s²

a₂= 4.99 m/s²

t₁ = (t₂ +1) s

Problem development

By the time Kathy overtakes Stan, the two will have traveled the same distance:

d₁ = d₂

t₁ = (t₂ +1)

We aplpy the Formula (3)

d₁ = v₀₁t₁ + (1/2)*a₁*t₁²

d₁ = 0 + (1/2)*(3.1)*t₁²

d₁ =  1.55*t₁² ; Stan's cinematic equation 1

d₂ = v₀₂t₂ + (1/2)*a₂*t₂²

d₂ = 0 + (1/2)*(4.99)*t₂²

d₂ = 2.495* t₂² : Kathy's cinematic equation 2

d₁ = d₂

equation 1 = equation 2

1.55*t₁²  =  2.495* t₂²  , We replace t₁ = (t₂ +1)

1.55* (t₂ +1) ² = 2.495* t₂²

1.55* (t₂² +2t₂+1) = 2.495* t₂²

1.55*t₂²+1.55*2t₂+1.55 = 2.495* t₂²

1.55t₂²+3.1t₂+1.55=2.495t₂²

(2.495-1.55)t₂² - 3.1t₂ - 1.55 = 0

0.905t₂² - 3.1t₂ - 1.55 = 0  Quadratic equation

Solving the quadratic equation we have:

(a) t₂ = 3.87 s : time at which Kathy overtakes Stan

(b) Distance in which Kathy catches Stan

we replace t₂ = 3.87 s in equation 2

d₂ = 2.495*( 3.87)²

d₂ = 37.36 m

(c) Speeds of both cars at the instant  Kathy overtakes Stan

We apply the Formula (1)

vf₁= v₀₁+a₁t₁    t₁ =( t₂+1 ) s=( 3.87 + 1 ) s = 4.87 s

vf₁= 0+3.1* 4.87

vf₁ = 15.097 m/s : Stan's final speed

vf₂ = v₀₂+a₂ t₂  

vf₂ =0+4.99* 3.87

vf₂ = 19.31 m/s : Kathy's final speed
