Describe when a light bulb is turned on, the electric current in the filament causes the filament to become hot and glow. If the

Electric current passes through a filament of an incandescent bulb, thereby increasing it temperature. When current flows, it contains electrons through the filament to produce light. Typically, incandescent light bulb consists of a glass enclosure that contains tungsten filament. The glass enclosure contains either a vacuum or an inert gas that serves as the filament protection from evaporating. Incandescent light bulbs contain a stem attached at to its base to allow the electrical contacts to run through the envelope without gas or air leaks.

Provide examples of Thermodynamics.
vampirchik [111]
Thermodynamics is the branch of physical science which deals with the relationship between heat and other forms of energy like chemical energy, mechanical or electrical. Here are examples of thermodynamics that are commonly seen in everyday living: When you accidentally wrecked or bumped your car, you came out alive and just slightly hurt, because it was the car that that absorbed the energy of the impact. Another example is that, during cooking. When you are cooking, the heat is being transferred to the pan and then to the food that you are cooking.

Three polarizing filters are stacked, with the polarizing axis ofthe second and third filters at angles of 22.2^\circ and 68.0^\
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

I₂ = 25.4 W

Explanation:

Polarization problems can be solved with the malus law

     I = I₀ cos² θ

Let's apply this formula to find the intendant intensity (Gone)

Second and third polarizer, at an angle between them is

    θ₂ = 68.0-22.2 = 45.8º

    I = I₂ cos² θ₂

    I₂ = I / cos₂ θ₂

    I₂ = 75.5 / cos² 45.8

    I₂ = 155.3 W

We repeat for First and second polarizer

   I₂ = I₁ cos² θ₁

   I₁ = I₂ / cos² θ₁

   I₁ = 155.3 / cos² 22.2

   I₁ = 181.2 W

Now we analyze the first polarizer with the incident light is not polarized only half of the light for the first polarized

    I₁ = I₀ / 2

   I₀ = 2 I₁

   I₀ = 2 181.2

   I₀ = 362.4 W

Now we remove the second polarizer the intensity that reaches the third polarizer is

    I₁ = 181.2 W

The intensity at the exit is

    I₂ = I₁ cos² θ₂

    I₂ = 181.2 cos² 68.0

   I₂ = 25.4 W
