It can be noted that the directions west and north are perpendicular to each other. hence we can use the right angle formula for calculating total distance in these directions. Also South is just negative north. This technique is called euclidean distance norm. It is the basis of Cartesian coordinate system.
Total distance = 3.22 N + 4.75 W +1.90 S
= 1.32 N + 4.75 W
D =
D = 4.93 Km
direction = atan(N/W) = 15.53 deg north of west
To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the Malus Law. Malus's law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized beam of light, which passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:
Where,
indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer,
I is the resulting intensity, and
indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.
Since we have two objects the law would be,
Replacing the values,
Therefore the intesity of the light after it has passes through both polarizers is
