Unpolarized light with intensity 300 W/m^2 passes first through a polarizing filter with its axis vertical, then through a second polarizing filter. It emerges from the second filter with intensity 121 W/m^2. What is the angle from vertical of the axis of the second polarizing filter?

The angle from vertical of the axis of the second polarizing filter is 50.57⁰.

Explanation:

Given;

intensity of the unpolarized light, I₀ = 300 W/m²

intensity of emergent polarized light, I = 121 W/m²

let the angle from vertical of the axis of the second polarizing filter = θ

Apply Malus's law, intensity of emergent polarized light is given as;

I = I₀Cos²θ

Therefore, the angle from vertical of the axis of the second polarizing filter is 50.57⁰.

  1.the balanced   chemical equation is as below

cu +   2 ag(no)₃ → cu(no₃)₂   +2 ag

2.the   much silver   produced   is   50.9 g

step 1: find the   moles of cu

moles =   mass÷   molar mass

  from periodic table the molar mass of cu = 63.5 g/mol

moles is therefore = 15.00 g÷ 63.5 g/mol = 0.236   moles

step 2: use the mole ratio to determine the   moles of ag

from equation above   cu: ag   is 1: 2

therefore the moles of ag   =0.236   moles   x 2/1 =0.472   moles

step 3: find the mass   of ag

mass = moles x molar mass

from periodic table   the molar mass of ag =107.87 g/mol

mass   = 0.472   moles x 107.87 g/mol = 50.9 g

3.   the   much   silver   collected worth is   1.797 oz

  convert   50.9 g   to oz

that is   1 gram = 0.0353 oz

          50.9 grams =?   oz

by cross multiplication

={(50.9 grams x 0.0353 oz) / 1   gram}   =1.797 oz
