Show that the expressions (ds)2 (c dt)2- (dx)2 - (dy) - (dz)2 is invariant (i. e, a scalar quantity) under lorentz transformations. this is the "four-dimensional distance" between events and is also known as the metric. show that if (ds)2 < 0 the two events cannot be causally connected, i. e., there cannot not be any information transmitted from one to the other even at light speed

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?
