Chapter 25: Problem 5: In the year 1178, five monks at Canterbury Cathedral in England observed what appeared to be an asteroid colliding with the moon, causing a red glow in and around it. It is hypothesized that this event created the crater Giordano Bruno, which is right on the edge of the area we can usually see from Earth.
a) How long after the asteroid hit the Moon, which is 3.84 ×10⁵ km away, would the light first arrive on Earth in seconds?

(a) Will you still be able to see what the screen displays? (b)If you were going placed back the polarizer but 45° away from what it was, how much (in percent) of the initial intensity of light will pass thru the polarizer?

(b) Calculate the phase difference between the two beams when they emerge from the specimen.arrow_forwardCertain sunglasses use a polarizing material to reduce the intensity of light reflected as glare front water or automobile windshields. What orientation should the polarizing filters haw to be most effective? (a) The polarizers should absorb light with its electric field horizontal. (b) The polarizers should absorb light with its electric field vertical. (c) The polarizers should absorb both horizontal and vertical electric fields. (d) The polarizers should not absorb either horizontal or vertical electric fields.arrow_forward
- Physics Polarization: Write down the equations of an unpolarized E field before it hits a linear polarizer that is polarized in the x-direction. What are the E field equations after the linear polarization? I'm having extreme difficulty on this problem, need some guidance.arrow_forward3. As shown in the figure, initially unpolarized light passes through three polarizers. The polarization direction of the polarizing plate forms an angle of o(1) = 40 °, o(2) = 10 °, and o(3) = 40 °, respectively, with respect to the y-axis direction. (a) What percentage of the initial light intensity is transmitted through the device? (b) At what angle is the light polarized with respect to y? (Choose the angle and clockwise or counterclockwise direction)arrow_forwardUnpolarized light with an intensity of 100 ?/?2 passes through two polarizing filters that are oriented at an angle of 40 degrees to each other. What is the intensity of the light that emerges from each filter?arrow_forward
- Problem 6: Suppose you have polarized light of intensity 140 W/m2. What will its intensity be after passing through a polarizing filter with its axis at an 84° angle relative to the light’s polarization direction? Give your answer in terms of mW/m2.arrow_forwardTrue or False; if false, please explain Light (electromagnetic waves) carry energy (Poynting vector) and also carry linear momentum that can be transferred to other objects. The amount of momentum light carries is enormous, which is evident because on TVwhen people get shot by laser-guns they go flying around like weightless rag-dolls and we know that what is on TV is always true.arrow_forwardQuestion about polarizing filters... Why does the intensity or brightness of light change drastically when I rotate a polarizing filter while looking at my computer screen or the table it's on? But it hardly changes at all when I point it at a window or ceiling light? Thanks in advance!arrow_forward
- 25. Natural light falls on a system of three polarizers with transmission coefficients 0.9, 0.92 and 0.95, respectively, and the transmission planes of these polarizers are angles of 20 °. How will the intensity of light that has passed through all polarizers change if the angle of rotation of the latterpolarizer increase by 10 °, and the angle of rotation of the second - decrease by 10 °?arrow_forwardThese are the options from the practice homework in book. I'm confused bc they're not alligning. Any insight? Thanks. -None of it. This first only lets vertically polarized light through. the second only let horizontally polarized light through. -All of it. Since the two polarizers aren't aligned with each other, they don't affect the light. -One quarter. Each polarizer reduces the light by half. Half of half is one quarter. -70.7%. The combination of the two polarizers (one at 0 and the other at 90) is 45. Cos(45)=.707.arrow_forwardUnpolarized light passes through two Polaroid sheets. The transmission axis of the analyzer makes an angle of 20.9° with the axis of the polarizer. (a) What fraction of the original unpolarized light is transmitted through the analyzer? (Enter your answer to at least three decimal places.)(b) What fraction of the original light is absorbed by the analyzer?arrow_forward
