Easy Perpendicularly-Oriented Polarizers

AI Thread Summary
When two polarizers are oriented perpendicularly, no light passes through, as each polarizer blocks the light that the other allows. The first polarizer only transmits light waves aligned with its axis, while the second polarizer, being perpendicular, blocks all light from the first. This principle illustrates the fundamental behavior of polarizers and their interaction with unpolarized light. To understand this better, one should consider how unpolarized light behaves when it encounters the first polarizer. Overall, the interaction between perpendicular polarizers effectively results in complete light blockage.

Homework Statement


Explain what happens when two polarizers are oriented perpendicular to one another.


Homework Equations


(None Known)


The Attempt at a Solution


Well... I would imagine that absolutely no light would get through because all of it would be blocked. The question is not very specific about exactly what it wants to know. Do you guys think that this is correct, or do you have any clarifications/ways to get more specific (or I could be wrong altogether, I suppose)?

I think you should say something about the working principle of polarizers. What happens if an unpolarized light beam crosses one polarizer?

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
