A beam of initially unpolarized light of intensity 531 W/m^2 passes through two polarizing filters in sequence, emerging from the second filter with an intensity of 175 W/m^2. What is the angle between the axes of the first and second filters? 17.9 degrees 35.7 degrees 55.0 degrees 66.1 degrees
The index of refraction for material 1 is 1.36; for material 2 it is 1.66. Light travels 1.5 m in the first material before hitting the second material, where it travels another 1.5 m. What is the total time taken for the light to travel the total distance? Speed of light c = 2.998 x 108 m/s Total time in the two materials = = 1.51 S Reflect on the order of magntitude of this time. Is this a perceptible time delay? ! No, that's not the correct answer.

The pupil of an eagle's eye has a diameter of 6.0 mm. Two field mice are separated by 0.010 m. From a distance of 201 m, the eagle sees them as one unresolved object and dives toward them at a speed of 16 m/s. Assume that the eagle's eye detects light that has a wavelength of 550 nm in vacuum. How much time passes until the eagle sees the mice as separate objects? t = i

A glass sheet measuring 15.0 cmcm ×× 29.0 cmcm is covered by a very thin opaque coating. In the middle of this sheet is a thin, straight scratch 0.00125 mmmm thick, as shown in (Figure 1). The sheet is totally immersed beneath the surface of a liquid having an index of refraction of 1.41. Monochromatic light strikes the sheet perpendicular to its surface and passes through the scratch. A screen is placed under the liquid a distance 32.0 cmcm away from the sheet and parallel to it. You observe that the first dark fringes on either side of the central bright fringe on this screen are 23.0 cmcm apart. What is the wavelength of the light in air? Express your answer in nanometers.
