Experiments show that the ground spider uses one of its several pairs of eyes as a polarization detector. In fact, the two eyes in this pair have polarization directions that are at right angles to one another. Suppose linearly polarized light with an intensity of 845 W/m2 shines from the sky onto the spider, and that the intensity transmitted by one of the polarizing eyes is 263 W/m2. For this eye, what is the angle between the polarization direction of the eye and the polarization direction of the incident light

Suppose that recording station n is located 200 km north of the epicenter of an earthquake, and recording station s is located 100 km south of the epicenter of the same earthquake. which of the following statements would be true?

Researchers determine that the biodiversity in a woodland region is declining. they identify two major threats to the region's biodiversity, a method to address each threat, and the expected outcome of each method. this information is shown in the table. a) reforestation would not benefit many species because most forest species live on the ground. b) reforestation would take the longest time to be effective because trees take several years to grow. c) biological augmentation would benefit only a few species because is is typically not very effective. d) biological augmentation would take less time to ve effective because it targets the majority of prey species.

Consider an insulating crystal, made up of layers of atoms. what form would you expect the temperature dependence of the phonon heat capacity to approach at extremely low temperatures if the interlayer coupling is i)very strong (rigid coupling), and ii) very weak. explain.
