To understand the standard formula for a sinusoidal traveling wave. One formula for a wave with a y displacement (e. g., of a string) traveling in the x direction is
y(x, t)=Asin(kxâÏt).
All the questions in this problem refer to this formula and to the wave it describes.
1) What is the phase Ï(x, t) of the wave?
Express the phase in terms of one or more given variables ( A, k, x, t, and Ï) and any needed constants like Ï
Ï(x, t)=
2) What is the wavelength Î» of the wave?
Express the wavelength in terms of one or more given variables ( A, k, x, t, and Ï) and any needed constants like Ï.
Î»=
3) What is the period T of this wave?
Express the period in terms of one or more given variables ( A, k, x, t, and Ï) and any needed constants like Ï.
T=
4) What is the speed of propagation v of this wave?
Express the speed of propagation in terms of one or more given variables ( A, k, x, t, and Ï) and any needed constants like Ï.
v=

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?
