Acircularly polarised beam of light with a vacuum wavelength of 1.55 micro meters is incident on a two cascaded quarter wave-plates, followed by a third unknown wave-plate. the light emerging from the system remains circularly polarised.
find out the jones vector characterizing the state of polarisation of the incident beam of light?

The pressure, volume, and temperature of a mole of an ideal gas are related by the equation pv = 8.31t, where p is measured in kilopascals, v in liters, and t in kelvins. use differentials to find the approximate change in the pressure if the volume increases from 14 l to 14.6 l and the temperature decreases from 375 k to 370 k. (round the answer to two decimal places.)

A1-lb collar is attached to a spring and slides without friction along a circular rod in a vertical plane. the spring has an undeformed length of 5 in. and a constant k =25 lb/ft. knowing that the collar is released from being held at a determine, the speed of the collar and the normal force between the collar and the rod as the collar passes through b.

Amichelson interferometer operating at a 600 nm wavelength has a 3.02-cm-long glass cell in one arm. to begin, the air is pumped out of the cell and mirror m2 is adjusted to produce a bright spot at the center of the interference pattern. then a valve is opened and air is slowly admitted into the cell. the index of refraction of air at 1.00 atm pressure is 1.00028.how many bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed as the cell fills with air?
