Explain how a single piece of polarizing film can be used to adjust the intensity of a beam of light..

The two most prominent wavelengths in the light emitted by a hydrogen discharge lamp are 656 nm(red) and 486 nm (blue). light from a hydrogen lamp illuminates a diffraction grating with 520lines/mm , and the light is observed on a screen 1.5m behind the grating. part a what is the distance between the first-order red and blue fringes? express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Atelevision set that has been running for a while heats up even the air around it. which two laws of thermodynamics could be used to analyze this scenario

As you are trying to move a heavy box of mass m, you realize that it is too heavy for you to lift by yourself. there is no one around to , so you attach an ideal pulley to the box and a massless rope to the ceiling, which you wrap around the pulley. you pull up on the rope to lift the box. use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity and neglect friction forces. once you have pulled hard enough to start the box moving upward, what is the magnitude f of the upward force you must apply to the rope to start raising the box with constant velocity? express the magnitude of the force in terms of m, the mass of the box.
