Consider an idealized cloud consisting of spherical droplets with a uniform radius of 10 mm and number concentration of 300 droplets/cm3. how far into this cloud would the light need to travel to be depleted by a factor of e (1/2.7 = 36.8% its original intensity)? in other words, what is the e-folding depth of light passing through such a cloud. (assume that none of the scattered radiation is subsequently scattered back into the path of the beam, and none is absorbed.) [hint: realize that because the cloud droplets are so much larger than the wavelengths of visible light they scatter according to their geometrical cross section, and then apply beer's law.]

Unpolarized light of intensity i_0=750w/m^2 is incident upon two polarizers. after passing through both polarizers the intensity is i_2=280w/m^2. (a) what is the intensity of the light after it passes through the first polarizer in w/m^2? (b) write an equation for the angle between the polarizers in terms of the initial (i_0) and final (i_2) intensities. (c) find the angle between the polarizers in degrees.
