Polarizers: Three polarizers with different axes of transmission will be placed in the path of an unpolarized laser beam with an intensity of 1000 W/m². The transmission axis of polarizer A is vertical (0°), that of B is rotated 29.3° clockwise with respect to vertical, and that of C is rotated 71.7° clockwise with respect to vertical. The polarizers can be placed in any order, but the second polarizer must be 429 mm from the first, and the third must be 138 mm from the second. (a) Find the arrangement of polarizers that maximizes the transmitted intensity and compute the maximum intensity. (b) Find the arrangement of polarizers that minimizes the transmitted intensity and compute the minimum intensity.

20 A magnetic dipole antenna is used to detect an electromagnetic wave. The antenna is a coil of 55.0 turns with radius 5.00 cm. The EM wave has frequency 594 kHz, electric field amplitude 0.710 V/m, and magnetic field amplitude 1.70 × 10−9 T. Assuming it is aligned correctly, what is the amplitude of the induced emf in the coil?

The company where you work has obtained and stored five lasers in a supply room. You have been asked to determine the intensity of the electromagnetic radiation produced by each laser. The lasers are marked with specifications, but unfortunately different information is given for each laser: Laser A: power = 2.6 W; diameter of cylindrical beam = 2.6 mm Laser B: amplitude of electric field = 480 V/m Laser C: amplitude of magnetic field = 8.7 x 10-6 T Laser D: diameter of cylindrical beam = 1.8 mm; force on totally reflecting surface = 6.0 x 10-8 N Laser E: average energy density in beam = 3.0 x 10-7 J/m3 Calculate the intensity for each laser, and rank the lasers in order of increasing intensity.
