A beam of plane polarised light of large cross sectional area and uniform intensity of \(3.3 \,Wm ^{-2}\) falls normally on a polariser (cross sectional area \(3 \times 10^{-4}\, m ^{2}\) ) which rotates about its axis with an angular speed of \(31.4\, rad/s.\) The energy of light passing through the polariser per revolution, is close to ........ \( \times 10^{-4} \,J\)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(1\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Intensity, \(I=3.3 Wm ^{-2}\)
Area, \(A=3 \times 10^{-4} m ^{2}\)
Angular speed, \(\omega=31.4 rad / s\)
\(T=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}\)
\(I = I _{0} \cos ^{2} \omega t\)
\(\because \cos ^{2} \theta =\frac{1}{2},\) in one time period
\(I=\frac{E}{A\cdot t}\)
\(\therefore\) Average energy \(=\frac{I_{0}}{2} \cdot \frac{2 \pi}{\omega} A=\frac{3.3 \times 3.14 \times 3 \times 10^{-4}}{31.4}=9.9 \times 10^{-5} \)
\(\approx 10 \times 10^{-5} \approx 1 \times 10^{-4} J\)
