A one-dimensional harmonic oscillator of mass m and angular frequency w is in a heat bath of temperature T. What is the root mean square of the displacement of the oscillator? (In the expressions below k is the Boltzmann constant.) Select one: ○ (KT/mw²)1/2 ○ (KT/mw²)-1/2 ○ kT/w O (KT/mw²) 1/2In(2)
Two polarizers are placed on top of each other so that their transmission axes coincide. If unpolarized light falls on the system, the transmitted intensity is lo. What is the transmitted intensity if one of the polarizers is rotated by 30 degrees? Select one: ○ 10/4 ○ 0.866 lo ○ 310/4 01/2 10/2
Before attempting this problem, review Conceptual Example 7. The intensity of the light that reaches the photocell in the drawing is 160 W/m², when 0 = 18°. What would be the intensity reaching the photocell if the analyzer were removed from the setup, everything else remaining the same? Light Photocell Polarizer Insert Analyzer
