Unpolarized light with an intensity of (25.0 A) units is passed through two successive polarizing filters, the first with its po

larization axis aligned with the vertical and the second with its polarization axis rotated (55.0 B) from the vertical. Find the intensity of the light after passing through the two polarizing filters. Give your answer in same unit as the original light and with 3 significant figures.

Answer:

the intensity of the light after passing through the two polarizing filters is 4.11 units

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

the intensity of an unpolarized light; I₀ = 25.0 units

when the unpolarized light passes through the first polarizer, its intensity reduces to half of its initial value;

⇒ I₁ = I₀/2 = 25/2 = 12.5 units

the angle between the transmission axes of two polarizers is;

∅ = 55° - 0° = 55°

The intensity of the light after passing through two polarizing filters will be;

I₂ = I₁cos²∅

we substitute

I₂ = 12.5 × cos²(55)

I₂ = 12.5 × 0.3289899

I₂ = 4.11 units

Therefore, the intensity of the light after passing through the two polarizing filters is 4.11 units

bearhunter [10]

The initial temperature of the bar is 25. To get to the t temperature you need to add (t-25) degrees Celsius.

for 1 degree................... 7 Joules
y given degree........ p Joules

p=7y

In our case y=(t-25) .

h(t) = 7(t-25) which is the final answer.

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

$t=2.5\times 10^{-14}\ s$

Explanation:

We know that charge on electron

$q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

r= 2 nm

We know that force between two charge given

$F=K\dfrac{Q_1Q_2}{r^2}$

Now by putting the value

$F=9\times10^9\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{(2\times 10^{-9})^2}$

$F=5.67\times 10^{-11}\ N$

We know that mass of electron

The mass of electron

$m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

F= m a

a= Acceleration of electron

a= F/m

$a=\dfrac{5.67\times 10^{-11}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}\ m/s^2$

$a=6.2\times 10^{19} m/s^2$

$S=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

initial velocity given that zero ,u=0

$20\times 10^{-9}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.2\times 10^{19} t^2$

$t=\sqrt {\dfrac{40\times 10^{-9}}{6.2\times 10^{19}}}$

$t=2.5\times 10^{-14}\ s$

Korolek [52]

Answer: C) divide: distance ÷ velocity

Explanation:

The velocity $V$ equation is distance $d$ divided by time $t$ :

$V=\frac{d}{t}$

If we isolate $t$ we will have:

$t=\frac{d}{V}$

Hence, the correct option is C: distance divided by velocity.
