Light of original intensity I0 passes through two idea polarizing filters having their polarizing axes oriented as shown in the figure. You want to adjust the angle so that the intensity at point P is equal to I0/12. (A) if the original light is linearly polarized in the same direction as the polarizing axis of the first polarizer the light reaches, what should the angle be? Express your answer in degrees.
Two ideal polaroid sheets are arranged so that the angle between the pass-axis of the two sheets is 0. An unpolarised beam of light of intensity lo is incident on one of the polaroids. If the intensity of light emerging from the other polaroid is lo / 4, the angle 0 is:

A uniform plane wave is generated from a ham radio antenna on earth. The take off angle is 60 degrees (the angle ffrom ground going up is 60 deg). Using simple trigonometry the angle if incidence with the ionosphere would be 30 degrees. Assume the F layer of the ionosphere is 300 km above the earth. The wave frequency from the transmitter is 21 MHz. WIll this wave refract off the ionosphere and end up somewhere on earth? If yes, what is the distance it travels?
Astronomers observe the chromosphere of the Sun with a filter that passes the red hydrogen spectral line of wavelength 656.3 nm, called the H, line. The filter consists of a transparent dielectric of thickness d held between two partially aluminized glass plates. The filter is held at a constant temperature. (a) Find the minimum value of d that produces maximum transmission of perpendicular H, light if the dielectric has an index of refraction of 1.494. (Assume that the glass's refractive index exceeds 1.494.) nm (b) If the temperature of the filter increases above the normal value, increases its thickness, what happens to the transmitted wavelength?

Unreasonable ResultsTo save money on making military aircraft invisible to radar, an inventor decides to coat them with a nonreflective material having an index of refraction of 1.20, which is between that of air and the surface of the plane.This, he reasons, should be much cheaper than designing Stealth bombers. (a) What thickness should the coating be to inhibit the reflection of 4.00-cmwavelength radar? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?
