Unpolarized light of intensity 30 W/cm2 is incident on a linear polarizer set at the polarizing angle θ1 = 22 ∘. The emerging li

ght then passes through a second polarizer that is set at the polarizing angle θ2 = 162 ∘. Note that both polarizing angles are measured from the vertical. What is the intensity of the light that emerges from the second polarizer?

Answer:

I₂ = 8.80 W/cm²

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we need to apply the Malus's law.

First, when the light gors through the first polarizer which is linear, intensity is always cut in half, therefore:

I₁ = I / 2   (1).

Applying this, we have:

I₁ = 30 / 2 = 15 W/cm²

Now, we can calculate the intensity of the light, after it passes through the second polarizer. The Law of Malus states that light intensity will be:

I₂ = I cos²Ф   (2)

Where Ф, is the difference between the angle of the first polarizer and the second. In this way we have:

Ф = α - β

Ф = 162 - 22 = 140°

Now, applying Malus's law we have:

I₂ = 15 cos²140°

<h2>I₂ = 8.80 W/cm²</h2>

Hope this helps

A beam of unpolarized light in air strikes a flat piece of glass at an angle of incidence of 54.2 degrees. If the reflected beam
Stels [109]

Answer:

correct option is B. 1.39

Explanation:

given data

angle of incidence (θ) = 54.2 degrees

to find out

index of refraction of the glass

solution

we know that here reflected beam is completely polarized

so angle of incidence = angle of polarized    ....................1

for reflective index we apply here Brewster law that is

μ = tan(θ)     ...............2

put here θ value we get

μ = tan(54.2)

μ = 1.386

so correct option is B. 1.39

A hailstone traveling with a velocity of 43 meters/second comes to a virtual stop 0.28 seconds after hitting water. What is the
lisabon 2012 [21]

Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) .

Change in speed = (ending speed) - (starting speed)

                            =       zero            - (43 m/s)

                            =          -43 m/s .

Magnitude of acceleration = (-43 m/sec) / (0.28 sec)

                                          =  (-43 / 0.28)  (m/sec) / sec

                                          =        153.57...  m/s²

                                          =        1.5...  x 10²  m/s²  .

A pair of narrow slits, separated by 1.8 mm, is illuminated by a monochromatic light source. Light waves arrive at the two slits
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

750 nm

Explanation:

d  = separation of the slits = 1.8 mm = 0.0018 m

λ = wavelength of monochromatic light

D  = screen distance = 4.8 m

y = position of first bright fringe = \frac{1cm}{5 fringe} = \frac{0.01}{5} = 0.002 m

n  = order = 1

Position of first bright fringe is given as

y = \frac{nD\lambda }{d}

0.002 = \frac{(1)(4.8)\lambda }{0.0018}

λ = 7.5 x 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 750 nm
