Like light waves, water waves emerging from two sources interferes in the space surrounding the sources to produce a pattern of nodes and antinodes lying along lines. The diagram at the right represents the interference pattern created by two water waves. The waves were created by two objects bobbing up and down in phase at the same frequency. Point P on the pattern is a distance of 34.0 cm from S1 and 23.8 cm from S2. Determine the wavelength (in cm) of the water waves.
Three polarizing plates whose planes are parallel are centered on a common axis. The directions of the transmission axes relative to the common vertical direction are shown in the figure below. A linearly polarized beam of light with plane of polarization parallel to the vertical reference direction is incident from the left onto the first disk with intensity Ii = 15.0 units (arbitrary). Calculate the transmitted intensity If when ?1 = 23.0°, ?2 = 43.0°, and ?3 = 61.0°. Hint: Make repeated use of Malus's law.

An arrow passes through three disks arranged in a row, with the faces of the disks perpendicular to the arrow. Before the arrow reaches the disks, it is labeled Ii. Each disk is labeled with an angle measured clockwise from the vertical. The first disk that the arrow passes through has angle ?1, the second disk has angle ?2, and the third disk has angle ?3. After the arrow exits the three disks, it is labeled If.
