Q.

A beam of plane-polarized light falls normally on a polarizer (cross-sectional area 3×104m2) which rotates about the axis of the ray with an angular velocity of  31.4rads1. Find the energy of light passing through the polarizer per revolution, if the flux of energy of the incident ray is 103 W.

Detailed Solution

Cross-sectional area of polaroid,  A=3×104m2
Angular velocity,  ω=3.14  rads1
Time taken to complete one revolution, T=2πω=2×3.1431.4=0.2s
(Energy incident/sec)  =103W
So, intensity of incident polarized beam is given by  I0=Energy incident/secArea=1033×104=103Wm2
Since, I=I0cos2θ where  cos2θ=12
So, average intensity transmitted is Iav=I02=103×2=1.67Wm2
Light energy passing through polarizer per revolution is given by
E=IavAT=106(3×104)(0.2)=104J
