Physics explanation please steps Formal Solution: When two polarizers are placed so that their axes areperpendicular, no light passes through the system. However, placing a third polarizerbetween the two polarizers will allow for some light to pass through the system.Explain why this is and determine the angle of the third polarizer (between the twoperpendicular polarizers) such that the maximum amount of light (as a fraction orpercentage of the initial intensity) can pass through the system. What is themaximum amount of light that can pass through the system?

Formal Solution: When two polarizers are placed so that their axes are
perpendicular, no light passes through the system. However, placing a third polarizer
between the two polarizers will allow for some light to pass through the system.
Explain why this is and determine the angle of the third polarizer (between the two
perpendicular polarizers) such that the maximum amount of light (as a fraction or
percentage of the initial intensity) can pass through the system. What is the
maximum amount of light that can pass through the system?

Check Your Understanding Although we did no specify the direction in Example 1.7, let’s say the polarizing filter was rotated clockwise by 71.6° to reduce the light intensity by 90.0%. What would be the intensity reduction if the polarizing filter were rotated counterclockwise by 71.6°’

To save money on making military aircraft invisible to radar, an inventor decides to coat them with a nonreflective material having an index of refraction of 1.20, which is between that of air and the surface of the plane. This, he reasons, should be much cheaper than designing Stealth bombers. (a) What thickness should the coating be to inhibit the reflection of 4.00-cm wavelength radar? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?
Can a sound wave in air be polarized? Explain.
The light incident on polarizing sheet P1is linearly polarized at an angle of 30.00 with respect to the transmission axis of P1 Sheet P2is placed so that its axis is parallel to the polarization axis of the incident light, that is, also at 30.0° with respect to P1 . (a) What fraction of the incident light passes through P1 ? (b) What fraction of the incident light is passed by the combination? (c) By rotating P2 , a maximum in transmitted intensity is obtained. What is the ratio of this maximum intensity to the intensity of transmitted light when P2 is at 30.0° with respect to P1 ?
Prove that if I is the intensity of light transmitted by two polarizing filters with axes at an angle and I’ is the intensity when the axes are at an angle 90.0, then I+I=I0, the original intensity. (Hint: Use the trigonometric identities cos 90.0=sinand cos2sin2=1 .)
Unpolarized light passes through three polarizing filters. The first filter has its transmission axis parallel to the z direction, the second has its transmission axis at an angle of 30.0 from the z direction, and the third has its transmission axis at an angle of 60.0 from the z direction. If the light that emerges from the third filter has an intensity of 250.0 W/m2, what is the original intensity of the light?
Show that if you have three polarizing filters, with the second at an angle of 45.0to the first and at third at an angle of 90.0to the first, the intensity of light passed by the first will be reduced to 25.0% of its value. (This is in contrast to having only the first and third, which reduces the intensity to zero, so that placing the second between them increases the intensity of the transmitted light.)
It is found that when light traveling in water falls on a plastic block, Brewster’s angle is 50.0°. What is the refractive index of the plastic?
