Studies of the relationship of the sun to our galaxy— the milky way—have revealed that the sun is located near the outer edge of the galactic disc, about 30 000 ly (1 ly 5 9.46 3 1015 m) from the center. the sun has an orbital speed of approximately 250 km/s around the galactic center. (a) what is the period of the sun’s galactic motion? (b) what is the order of magnitude of the mass of the milky way galaxy? (c) suppose the galaxy is made mostly of stars of which the sun is typical. what is the order of magnitude of the number of stars in the milky way?

Alinearly polarized electromagnetic wave has an average intensity of 196 w/m^2. this wave is directed towards two ideal polarizers (in real polarizers, transmission is also effected by reflection and absorption). polarizer a is oriented with its transmission axis at an angle of θ_1=20.8∘ with the incident electric field. polarizer b has its axis at an angle of θ_2=63.0∘ with the incident electric field. what is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer a? what is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer b? suppose that the two polarizers a and b are interchanged. what would the average intensity be after passing through both polarizers?
