a) At sunset, sunlight is scattered by the atmosphere. A person looking straight up sees this as the blue sky. Explain in a few words what the orientation of the electric and magnetic fields are that enter the eye.
b) Explain in few words why the scattered light must have only this polarization.
c)If the Poynting vector for this light is 2 W/m 2 what is the amplitude of the magnetic field.

A.) A scuba diver, submerged under water, looks up and sees
sunlight at an angle of 11.0° from the vertical. At what angle,
measured from the vertical, does this sunlight strike the surface
of the water? Assume water has a refraction index of 1.333.
B.) To focus a camera on objects at different distances, the
converging lens is moved toward or away from the image sensor, so a
sharp image always falls on the sensor. A camera with a telephoto...

A rescue helicopter lifts a 81.9-kg person straight up by means
of a cable. The person has an upward acceleration of 0.646 m/s2 and
is lifted from rest through a distance of 8.59 m. (a) What is the
tension in the cable? How much work is done by (b) the tension in
the cable and (c) the person's weight? (d) Use the work-energy
theorem and find the final speed of the person. Please include all
decimal points in answer! Thank...

A person standing on the edge of a high cliff
throws a rock straight up with an initial
velocity of 17.50 m/s. The rock misses the edge
of the cliff as it falls back to Earth. What is the
position and velocity of the rock at 1.00 s, 3.5 s
and 4.0 s after it is thrown, neglecting the
effects of air resistance.

Do you think that the language a person speaks affects the way
that person sees and understands the world? So for example, do you
think that a Russian speaker sees/understands the world and our
society differently than an Arabic speaker? What about for people
who are bilingual?

The average “moviegoer” sees 8.5 movies a year. A moviegoer is
defined as a person who sees at least one movie in a theater in a
12-month period. A random sample of 40 moviegoers from a large
university revealed that the average number of movies seen per
person was 9.6. The population standard deviation is 3.2 movies. At
the 0.05 level of significance, can it be concluded that this
represents a difference from the national average?

Jennifer is looking for a new car. She sees an ad about the
vehicle she wants to buy. The article headline states “Best in
Class” and lists all of the specifications of this particular model
of car that makes it so appealing (high fuel economy, side impact
rating, etc.). After reading the whole ad, Jennifer notices that it
is published by her local car dealership. She assumes that they are
trying to sell her the car, and they are probably...

The
temperature of the atmosphere near the Earth's surface (up to an
elevation of 10 km) can be approximated with T(z) = 288 – 0.0065z
°K. Determine the Pressure at an elevation of 3000 m, if it is at z
= 0, P = 101 kPa

classmate tells you that she sees no reason to set up
accounts in a business. She
states that it seems better to simply write the accounting equation
at the top of a
sheet of paper and then record each transaction and its effect on
the accounting
equation. Explain why this is not practical and why an accounting
system will be
needed.
