A photographer might use a light meter to make sure she has enough light for a good photograph. The meter absorbs light and provides a current that
moves the needle on the meter. How does this phenomenon support the
particle model of light?
A. It is the result of constructive interference.
B. It is the result of the photoelectric effect.
C. It is the result of the diffraction of a beam of light.
D. A light meter is a blackbody radiator.

Unpolarized light falls on two polarizer sheets whose transmission axes are at right angles. a third polarizer is placed between the first two so that its axis makes a 52-degree angle with the axis of the first polarizer. a) what fraction of the incident light intensity is transmitted through the first polaroid? b) what fraction of the incident light intensity is transmitted through the second polaroid? c) what is the angle of polarization of the light that enters the third polaroid? d) what fraction of the incident light intensity is transmitted through the third polaroid. e) what happens if the middle polaroid is removed?
