Two linear polarizing filters are placed one behind the other so that their transmission directions form an angle of 45 ° . A be
makvit [3.9K]

The transmitted intensity will be the quarter of the incident intensity of light, (I = 0.25 I₀), when two linear polarizing filters are placed one behind the other forming the angle of 45°.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Polarizers are used for constraining the direction of propagation of light waves.  So depending upon the angle of polarizer, the transmitted rays will follow that angle only and the remaining lights waves at different angles will be reflected back. So basically it works like a filter or optical filters.

So, the transmitted intensity will be less compared to the original intensity of light as the beam will get confined in a particular angle.

The relation between transmitted intensity and incident intensity is given by Malus's law.

I = { \frac {I_{0}} {2}} \times cos^{2} \alpha

Here, I is the transmitted intensity, I₀ is the incident intensity and α is the angle of the polarizer.

In the present case, two polarizers are used with same angle, so the first one termed as polarizer, while the second one will be termed as analyzer. The angle which is used to polarize the intensity of the incident beam is the angle of 45°.

Then, according to Malus's law,

I = I₀ cos² 45 = (I₀/2)×(1/√2)² = I₀/4 = 0.25\ I_0

So, the transmitted intensity will be the quarter of the incident intensity of light, (I = 0.25 I₀), when two linear polarizing filters are placed one behind the other forming the angle of 45°.

Four 50-g point masses are at the corners of a square with 20-cm sides. What is the moment of inertia of this system about an ax
deff fn [24]

Answer:

moment of inertia I ≈ 4.0 x 10⁻³ kg.m²

Explanation:

given

point masses = 50g = 0.050kg

note: m₁=m₂=m₃=m₄=50g = 0.050kg

distance, r, from masses to eachother = 20cm = 0.20m

the distance, d, of each mass point from the centre of the mass, using pythagoras theorem is given by

= (20√2)/ 2 = 10√2 cm =14.12 x 10⁻² m  

moment of inertia is a proportion of the opposition of a body to angular acceleration about a given pivot that is equivalent to the entirety of the products of every component of mass in the body and the square of the component's distance from the center

mathematically,

I = ∑m×d²

remember, a square will have 4 equal points

I = ∑m×d² = 4(m×d²)

I = 4 × 0.050 × (14.12 x 10⁻² m)²

I = 0.20 × 1.96 × 10⁻²

I =  3.92 x 10⁻³ kg.m²

I ≈ 4.0 x 10⁻³ kg.m²

attached is the diagram of the equation
