To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the law of Malus which describes the change in the Intensity of Light when it crosses a polarized surface.
Mathematically the expression is given as

Where,
= Initial Intensity
I = Final Intensity after pass through the polarizer
= Angle between the polarizer and the light
Since it is sought to reduce the intensity by half the relationship between the two intensities will be given as

Using the Malus Law we have,





Angle with respect to maximum is

Answer:
The type of medium affects a sound wave as sound travels with the help of the vibration in particles.
Explanation:
As different mediums have different amount and size of particles, for example, the speed of sound is faster through solid than liquid as solids have closely packed particles whereas liquids are loosely packed.
Hi there!
We can use Newton's Second Law:

ΣF = Net force (N)
m = mass (kg)
a = acceleration (m/s²)
We can rearrange the equation to solve for the acceleration.
