An unpolarized light with an intensity of 20W/m^2 is passed through a pair of polarizers. The first polarizer is set at an angle of 60° and the second is set at an angle of 20°. Using Malus' law, what is the intensity of light as it passes through the second polarizer?

4.416 W/m²

Explanation:

Malus' law is given mathematically as

I = I₀ cos² θ

For the first polarizer, θ = 60°

I₁ = I₀ cos² 60°

I₁ = I₀ (0.5)² = 0.25I₀

For the second polarizer, θ = 20°

I₂ = I₁ cos² 20°

I₂ = I₁ (0.9397)² = 0.883 I₁

I₂ = 0.883 × 0.25I₀ = 0.2208 I₀

Note that

I₀ = 20 W/m²

I₂ = 0.2208 × 20 = 4.416 W/m²

Hope this Helps!!!

explanation:

earth's surface is mainly heated by the absorption of infrared radiation from the sun.

evaporation occurs because molecules in liquid water are warmed ( usually by the sun) and vibrate quicker, becoming less dense and rise.

condensation occurs because molecules in water vapor are cooled and therefore vibrate more slowly thus becoming more dense and eventually fall to earth.

lines of equal barometric pressure on a weather map are called: isobars : lines of equal temp on a weather map are called: isotherms.​

ill do it for 100, also this isnt 80 its 40
