Unpolarized light of intensity I0 = 950 W/m2 is incident upon two polarizers. The first has its polarizing axis vertical, and the axis of the second is rotated θ = 65° from the vertical. Required:
a. What is the intensity of the light after it passes through the first polarizer in W/m2?
b. What is the intensity of the light after it passes through the second polarizer in W/m2?

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 425 W/m²

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = 75.905 W/m²

Explanation:

Given:

Unpolarized light of intensity (I₀) = 950 W/m²

θ = 65°

Find:

a. Intensity of the light (first polarizer)

b. Intensity of the light (second polarizer)

Computation:

a. Intensity of the light (first polarizer)

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = I₀ / 2

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 950 / 2

Intensity of the light (first polarizer) (I₁) = 425 W/m²

b. Intensity of the light (second polarizer)

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = (I₁)cos²θ

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = (425)(0.1786)

Intensity of the light (second polarizer) (I₂) = 75.905 W/m²

this could be newton#'s law of cooling. the cooling curve is exponential

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
