A200mWvertically polarized laser beam passes through a polarizing filter whose axis is 35° from horizontal. What is the power of the laser beam as it emerges from the filter?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The power of the laser beam is65.8mw.

Step by step solution

01

Formula for power of laser beam

When unpolarized light strikes a polarizer, the power of the polarised light that emerges is half that of the unpolarized light.

Incident light that isn't polarised.

So,

P=P0cos2θ

Where,

role="math" localid="1648929202807" P0-Vertically polarized laser beam

P-Power of laser beam

02

Figure for laser beam with axis of 35°

Figure is,

03

Calculation for power of laser beam

The beam angle is,

θ=90°-35°

=55°

The beam's power is determined as follows:

P=P0cos2θ

=200mW×cos255°

P≈65.8mW

Unpolarized light with intensity350W/m2 passes first through a polarizing filter with its axis vertical, then through a second polarizing filter. It emerges from the second filter with intensity 131W/m2. What is the angle from vertical of the axis of the second polarizing filter?

When the Voyager 2spacecraft passed Neptune in 1989, it was 4.5×109kmfrom the earth. Its radio transmitter, with which it sent back data and images, broadcast with a mere 21Wof power. Assuming that the transmitter broadcast equally in all directions,

a. What signal intensity was received on the earth?

b. What electric field amplitude was detected?

The received signal was somewhat stronger than your result because the spacecraft used a directional antenna, but not by much.
