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

When force is applied to a breaker bar the torque can be calculated by multiplying the length of the lever by the?
Nimfa-mama [501]

When a force applied to a breaker bar the torque can be calculated by multiplying the<u> length of the lever</u> by the tangential component of force on the lever.

<h3>What is torque?</h3>

Torque is the <u>rotating equivalent</u> of force in physics and mechanics. Depending on the subject of study, it is also known as the moment, moment of force, rotating force, or turning effect. It illustrates how a force can cause a change in the body's rotational motion.

Torque is given by the formula :

                          α = r x F ( bold letters represent vector quantities)

The S.I. unit for torque is :  N - m ( Newton - meter)

<h3>How do we define 1 N-m of torque?</h3>

The newton-metre is a torque unit (also known as a moment) in the SI system. The torque produced by a one newton force applied <u>perpendicularly to the end of a one metre long</u> moment arm is known as a newton-metre.
