Unpolarized light of intensity i_0=750w/m^2 is incident upon two polarizers. after passing through both polarizers the intensity is i_2=280w/m^2. (a) what is the intensity of the light after it passes through the first polarizer in w/m^2? (b) write an equation for the angle between the polarizers in terms of the initial (i_0) and final (i_2) intensities. (c) find the angle between the polarizers in degrees.

If an astronaut takes an object to the moon the following is true (choose only one). a the mass will change but the weight will be the same. b both the mass and the weight of the object will be the same. c the weight will change but the mass will be the same. d both the mass and the weight of the object will change.
