Answer:

Polarization is a property applying to transverse waves that specifies the geometrical orientation of the oscillations. In a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave.

Explanation:

Polarization (also polarisation) is a property applying to transverse waves that specifies the geometrical orientation of the oscillations. In a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. A simple example of a polarized transverse wave is vibrations traveling along a taut string (see image); for example, in a musical instrument like a guitar string. Depending on how the string is plucked, the vibrations can be in a vertical direction, horizontal direction, or at any angle perpendicular to the string. In contrast, in longitudinal waves, such as sound waves in a liquid or gas, the displacement of the particles in the oscillation is always in the direction of propagation, so these waves do not exhibit polarization. Transverse waves that exhibit polarization include electromagnetic waves such as light and radio waves, gravitational waves,[6] and transverse sound waves (shear waves) in solids.

An electromagnetic wave such as light consists of a coupled oscillating electric field and magnetic field which are always perpendicular to each other; by convention, the "polarization" of electromagnetic waves refers to the direction of the electric field. In linear polarization, the fields oscillate in a single direction. In circular or elliptical polarization, the fields rotate at a constant rate in a plane as the wave travels. The rotation can have two possible directions; if the fields rotate in a right hand sense with respect to the direction of wave travel, it is called right circular polarization, while if the fields rotate in a left hand sense, it is called left circular polarization.

Light or other electromagnetic radiation from many sources, such as the sun, flames, and incandescent lamps, consists of short wave trains with an equal mixture of polarizations; this is called unpolarized light. Polarized light can be produced by passing unpolarized light through a polarizer, which allows waves of only one polarization to pass through. The most common optical materials do not affect the polarization of light, however, some materials—those that exhibit birefringence, dichroism, or optical activity—affect light differently depending on its polarization. Some of these are used to make polarizing filters. Light is also partially polarized when it reflects from a surface.

According to quantum mechanics, electromagnetic waves can also be viewed as streams of particles called photons. When viewed in this way, the polarization of an electromagnetic wave is determined by a quantum mechanical property of photons called their spin. A photon has one of two possible spins: it can either spin in a right hand sense or a left hand sense about its direction of travel. Circularly polarized electromagnetic waves are composed of photons with only one type of spin, either right- or left-hand. Linearly polarized waves consist of photons that are in a superposition of right and left circularly polarized states, with equal amplitude and phases synchronized to give oscillation in a plane.

Polarization is an important parameter in areas of science dealing with transverse waves, such as optics, seismology, radio, and microwaves. Especially impacted are technologies such as lasers, wireless and optical fiber telecommunications, and radar.

The density of a metal is 11.4 g/cm3. How much volume (in cm3) would a sample of 30.5 g have?
julia-pushkina [17]

<u>The Concept:</u>

We are given the density of a sample of the metal = 11.4 grams / cm³

and we need to find the volume occupied by a sample of 30.5 grams

For this solution, we will use dimensional analysis

from the given information, we can also say that the density of the metal is:

1 cm³ / 11.4 grams

If we multiply this value by 30.5 grams, the 'grams' in the numerator and the denominator will cancel out and we will be left with the volume occupied by 30.5 grams of the metal

<u>Solving for the volume:</u>

\frac{ 1 cm^{3} }{11.4 grams}  X  30.5 grams  = (30.5 / 11.4) cm³

Volume of 30.5 grams of the sample = 2.68 cm³

Using the balanced chemical reaction below, how many grams of copper (cu) metal can be obtained from 1.00 kg of copper ore (cu3f
aleksklad [387]

Answer : Mass of copper (Cu) metal obtained = 556.281 g

Solution : Given,

Mass of copper ore = 1 Kg = 1000 g

From the periodic table, the molar mass of copper and copper ore are

Molar mass of copper = 63.546 g/mole

Molar mass of copper ore, Cu_{3}FeS_{3} = 342.678 g/mole

First we have to calculate the number of moles of copper ore, Cu_{3}FeS_{3}

Moles of  Cu_{3}FeS_{3} = \frac{\text{ Mass of copper ore}}{\text{ Molar mass of copper ore}} = \frac{1000g}{342.678g/mole} = 2.918 moles

The balanced chemical reaction is :

2Cu_{3} FeS_{3}(s)+7O_{2}(g)\rightarrow 6Cu(s)+2FeO(s)+6SO_{2}(g)

From this chemical reaction, we conclude that

2 moles of Cu_{3}FeS_{3} gives          →     6 moles of Cu

2.918 moles of Cu_{3}FeS_{3} gives   →      \frac{6moles}{2moles}\times 2.918moles

                                                           = 8.754 moles

Thus, the Moles of copper (Cu) = 8.754 moles

Now, calculate the Mass of copper (Cu).

Mass of copper (Cu) = Moles of copper (Cu) × Molar mass of copper (Cu)

                                  = 8.757 moles × 63.546 g/moles

                                  = 556.281 g

What is the standard emf of a galvanic cell made of a cd electrode in a 1.0 m cd(no3)2 solution and a cr electrode in a 1.0 m cr
Natali5045456 [20]
Standard reduction potential of Cd2+ = -0.403 v
Standard reduction potential of Cr3+ = -0.74 v

Here, reduction potential of Cd2+ is higher as compared to Cr3+. Hence, it will preferentially undergo reduction. 

The electrochemical cell is represented as
Cr/Cr3+// Cd2+/Cd

Now, standard EMF of cell = E = ECd2+/Cd - ECr3+/Cr  
                                                  = - 0.403. - (-0.74)
                                                  = 0.337 v
