Answer:

a)    I= I₀ (cos²θ - cos⁴θ)    b) 75.5º

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we must use Malus's law

         I = I₀ cos² θ

where tea is the angle between the two polarizers.

We apply this expression to our case

* Polarizer 1 suppose that it is vertical and polarizer 2 (intermediate) is at an angle θ with respect to the vertical

         I₁ = I₀ cos² θ

* We analyze for the polarity 2 and the last polarizer 3 which indicate that it must be at 90º from the first one, therefore it must be horizontal.

The angle of polarizers 2 and 3 is θ' measured from the horizontal, if we measure with respect to the vertical

              θ₂ = 90- θ’ = θ

fiate that in the exercise we must take a reference system and measure everything with respect to this system.

          I = I₁ cos² θ'

       

we substitute

         I = (I₀ cos² tea) cos² (θ - 90)

        cos (θ -90) = cos θ cos 90 + sin θ sin 90 = sin θ

         I = Io cos² θ sin² θ

        1= cos²θ+ sin²θ

       sin²θ = 1 - cos²θ

        I= I₀ (cos²θ - cos⁴θ)

b) to find when the intensity is maximum,

we can use that we have an extreme point when the drift is zero

          \frac{dI}{d \theta} = 0

          \frac{dI}{d \theta}= Io (2 cos θ - 4 cos³θ) = 0

whereby

            cos θ - 2 cos³ θ = 0

            cos θ ( 1 - 2 cos² θ) = 0  

The zeros of this function are in

           θ = 90º

           1-2cos²θ =0       cos θ = 0.25  θ =  75.5º

Let's analyze this two results for the angle of 90º the intnesidd is zero with respect to the first polarizer, so it is not an acceptable solution.

Consequently, the angle that allows the maximum intensity to pass is 75.5º

An engine that has an efficiency of 25% takes in 200 [J] of heat during each cycle. Calculate the amount of work this engine per
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

W=50J

Explanation:

The work done W and the energy taken Q_{in} by a heat engine are related to the efficiency \eta by the expression

\eta=\frac{W}{Q_{in}}

The efficiency is \eta=25%, the numerical form of this percentage is 0.25 and the energy taken is Q_{in}=200J. Replacing in the formula:

0.25=\frac{W}{200}\\W=200*0.25\\W=50J

What is a law in physics?​
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

By nature, laws of Physics are stated facts which have been deduced and derived based on empirical observations. Simply put, the world around us works in a certain way, and physical laws are a way of classifying that “working.”
