If you have completely polarized light of intensity 125 W/m2, what will its intensity be after passing through a polarizing filter with its axis at an 89.5° angle to the light's polarization direction?

When we have completely polarized light with intensity I0, and it passes through a polarizing filter with its axis at an angle θ with respect to the light's polarization direction, the new intensity of the light will be:

I = I0*cos^2(θ)

This is called the "Malus' law".

in this case, we have:

I0 =  125 W/m^2

θ = 89.5°

then:

I = (125 W/m^2)*cos^2(89.9°) = 0.00038 W/m^2

the focus of lesson 1 is newton's first law of motion - sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. newton's first law of motion is often stated as. an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

explanation:

option number c is the right answer.
