Chapter 38, Problem 38.11OQ
When unpolarized light passes through a diffraction grating, does it become polarized? (a) No, it does not. (b) Yes, it does, with the transmission axis parallel to the slits or grooves in the grating. (c) Yes, it does, with the transmission axis perpendicular to the slits or grooves in the grating. (d) It possibly does because an electric field above some threshold is blocked out by the grating if' the field is perpendicular to the slits.

Example
Two charges, one with +10 μC of charge, and
another with - 7.0 μC of charge are placed in
line with each other and held at a fixed distance
of 0.45 m. Where can you put a 3rd charge of +5
μC, so that the net force on the 3rd charge is
zero?
*
Coulomb's Law Example
Three charges are positioned as seen below. Charge
1 is +2.0 μC and charge 2 is +8.0μC, and charge 3 is -
6.0MC.
What is the magnitude and the direction of the force
on charge 2 due to charges 1 and 3?
