Chapter 33: Q32P (page 1002)

In the figure, initially unpolarized light is sent into a system of three polarizing sheets whose polarizing directions make angles of胃1=胃2=胃3=50掳with the direction of theyaxis. What percentage of the initial intensity is transmitted by the system? (Hint: Be careful with the angles.)

Figure:

Short Answer

Expert verified

The intensity of light after the third polarizer isIf=0.045%I0

Step by step solution

01

Given

胃1=胃2=胃3=500

02

Determining the concept

According to Malus law, the intensity of a beam of plane-polarized light after passing through a rotatable polarizer varies as the square of the cosine of the angle through which the polarizer is rotated from the position that gives maximum intensity.

03

Determining the percentage of the initial intensity is transmitted by the system

The intensity of light after the third polarizer is:

If=I02(胃1+胃2)(胃2+胃3)If=0.5脳(50+50)(50+50)IfI0=4.5脳10鈭�4鈭�If=0.045%I0

Hence, the intensity of light after the third polarizer isIf=0.045%I0.

As a comet swings around the Sun, ice on the comet鈥檚 surface vaporizes, releasing trapped dust particles and ions. The ions, because they are electrically charged, are forced by the electrically charged solar wind into a straight ion tail that points radially away from the Sun (Fig. 33-39). The (electrically neutral) dust particles are pushed radially outward from the Sun by the radiation force on them from sunlight. Assume that the dust particles are spherical, have density3.5脳103鈥塳驳/尘3 , and are totally absorbing

.(a) What radius must a particle have in order to follow a straight path, like path 2 in the figure?

(b) If its radius is larger, does its path curve away from the Sun (like path 1) or toward the Sun (like path 3)?

In Fig. 33-40, initially unpolarized light is sent into a system of three polarizing sheets whose polarizing directions make angles of 胃1=40掳, 胃2=20掳, and胃2=40掳with the direction of theyaxis. What percentage of the light鈥檚 initial intensity is transmitted by the system? (Hint: Be careful with the angles.)

(a) Figure 33-27 shows light reaching a polarizing sheet whose polarizing direction is parallel to a y axis. We shall rotate the sheet 40掳 clockwise about the light鈥檚 indicated line of travel. During this rotation, does the fraction of the initial light intensity passed by the sheet increase, decrease, or remain the same if the light is (a) initially unpolarized, (b) initially polarized parallel to the x axis, and (c) initially polarized parallel to the y axis?

Figure 33-28 shows the electric and magnetic fields of an electromagnetic wave at a certain instant. Is the wave traveling into the page or out of the page?

A certain helium鈥搉eon laser emits red light in a narrow band of wavelengths centered at632.8nm and with a 鈥渨avelength width鈥� (such as on the scale of Fig. 33-1) of0.0100nm. What is the corresponding 鈥渇requency width鈥� for the emission?
