You simultaneously shine two light beams, each of intensity I0, on an ideal polarizer. One beam is unpolarized, and the other beam is polarized at an angle of exactly 30.0∘ to the polarizing axis of the polarizer. Find the intensity of the light that emerges from the polarizer. Express your answer in term of I0 .

The emerging intensity is equal to 0.75

Explanation:

The initial intensity of the light =

The angle of polarization β = 30°

We know that the polarized light intensity is related to the initial light intensity by

=

where is the emerging polarized light intensity

inserting values gives

= 30°

30° = = = 0.75

= 0.75

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.
