    How do unpolarized sunglasses reduce brightness?

    If you don't mind me asking, how are they able to do this and which frequencies of light do the absorb?

    How do unpolarized sunglasses reduce brightness?

    Hi everyone! I've been reading up on light and transmission, absorption and reflection and I was wondering how unpolarized sunglasses are able to reduce brightness. I tried Google-ing this but all I found was information about polarized sunglasses and how they reduce glare and work as UV...

    How are nodes and antinodes added to harmonics of open air columns?

    Hi everyone! I was reading up on sound waves and I got to the point where this website was describing how instruments produce standing waves through the interference of different frequencies but then it started to talk about how the length of air columns can affect the wavelengths of the sound...

    Why are the products of sound wave lengths and frequencies always constant?

    Hi everyone! I was reading a textbook a while ago about waves and it had just finished talking about wave speeds and how it is the product of the frequency times the wave length. On the next page, it gave a table of frequencies and wave lengths of sound waves and how their products are all...

    Unraveling the Mystery of Energy Transfer: Lowering Objects Slowly

    Thanks for the reply! I only have one question about this. Doesn't work done depend on only the net force and not the individual forces? If there was a 10 N force and a -10 N force, wouldn't the work just be 0 Joules?

    Unraveling the Mystery of Energy Transfer: Lowering Objects Slowly

    Hi everyone! How do these two types of energy work for things that are being lowered down slowly? I've been told that whenever one drops something (let's say it's 1kg) from 5 meters, it will be traveling at 10 meters per second just before it stops at the ground. And I've also learned that...
