Students have 4 different pairs of sunglasses, each with lenses where the polarization filter is oriented in different direction

s (indicated by the direction of lines drawn on the lenses below). They are planning to ride rafts down a river on a sunny day where there is lots of glare on the water. Which pair would they want to wear to eliminate the glare from the sun

Answer:

the lens you must select has an angle of 143º measured with respect to the horizontal, this angle is 53º with respect to the vertical.

Explanation:

The glare is caused by the reflection of light in the water, the polarization of the reflected light is polarized in a direction parallel to the surface of the water, the polarization is total for the angles

         n = tan  \theta_{p}

         \theta_{p} = tan⁻¹ n

the refractive index for seawater is 1.33

         \theta_{p}= tan⁻¹  1.33

         \theta_{p} = 53º

for this angle the light is totally polarized, for the other angles the polarization is partial.

Based on this, the lenses must eliminate this polarization, so its polarization direction must have 90º with respect to this polarization,

          \theta_{lens} = 53 +90

           \theta_{lens}= 143º

Therefore, the lens you must select has an angle of 143º measured with respect to the horizontal, this angle is 53º with respect to the vertical.

A lens that could work is one that is polarized 45º with respect to the vertical.

Consider the minute hand on a clock. (a) Compute the frequency of its motion in cycles per second. State your answer to three si
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

(a)0.0002778

(b)1.16\times10^{-5}

Explanation:

(a) The minute hand has a period of 60 minutes ( or 60 * 60 = 3600 seconds) for 1 circle. Its frequency per second would be

1 / 3600 = 0.0002778

(b) The hour hand has a period of 24 hours ( or 24*60 * 60 = 86400

seconds) for 1 circle. Its frequency per second would be

1 / 86400 = 1.16\times10^{-5}

A ball falls from the top of a building. As it falls, its speed increases. Which type of energy is the ball gaining as it falls?
Elina [12.6K]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: B. Kinetic energy

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since the ball is falling, speed increases because the gravity acceleration is acting. When speed increases, the kinetic energy increases too, so the ball is gaining kinetic energy.

The gravity acceleration is equal to 9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}, it means that when falling, the ball will increase it's speed 9.81m every second.

We can calculate the kinetic energy by using the following formula:

KE=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

Where:

m=mass\\v=velocity

Have a nice day!
