O If light from a star passes through an exoplanet's atmosphere, we can look at the absorption spectra to determine what elements & compounds are in the atmosphere. O For a telescope, decreasing f, will increase the actual size of the image seen by the person looking through the telescope. O In crown glass, the index of refraction for blue light is 1.524 and for green light it is 1.519. Thus in crown glass, blue light is slower than green light. O If unpolarized light is incident on a polarizer, 0% will pass through. O The glasses for farsighted people create virtual images for them to see. O The smaller the diameter of an optic is, the larger the minimum angle it can discern is.arrow_forward
- Yellow light with wavelength 600 nm is travelling to the right (in the positive x direction) in vacuum. The light is polarized along the +y direction. The light passes an observer X located on the x axis. (a) Draw a neat labeled movie mode vector picture of the wave at the location of AX. (b) If the wave were to represent blue light instead of yellow light, how would your diagram in part a change? Draw a new diagram to explain these changes. If there is no change, say so explicitly.arrow_forwardSolve the following, if the radio wave transmitted at an angle of incidence 68 degrees, with a wavelength of 6mm.I. Find the critical density II.

- Unpolarized light is sent through a system of polarizers. The initial system is made up of two fixed polarizers at 90° shown in the figure. Is it possible to add one more polarizer and increase the intensity of light exiting the system? If not explain why not.

Please read everything first before answering. Read carefully as well because you might be confused.I asked this question already here in Bartleby but I have not received the exact answer The question is:Unpolarized light with intensity I₀ is incident on two polarizers as sketched in Figure B. Suppose the angle between the axes of the two polarizers is θ = 60°. What is the intensity of the transmitted light? EXPRESS YOUR ANSWER AS A FRACTION OF I₀. And I got the answer 0.125 I₀. The question says THE ANSWER SHOULD BE EXPRESSED AS A FRACTION OF I₀. The answer I got is decimal and i don't know how i will turn it to fraction. I am not sure if converting it to fraction is correct so I am seeking for your help. Please help me. What I just need is TO EXPRESS MY ANSWER AS A FRACTION OF I₀. Thank you!arrow_forward
