The following are positioned in sequence: A source of a beam of natural light of intensity I0; three ideal polarizers A, B, and C; and an observer. Polarizer axis angles are measured clockwise from the vertical, from the perspective of the observer.
The axis angle of polarizer A is set at 0 (vertical), and the axis angle of polarizer C is set at 50. Polarizer B is set so that the beam intensity is zero at the observer. Which of the following pairs of angles are possible axis angle settings of polarizer B?
A) 90 and 130
B) 90 and 140
C) 40 and 130
D) 40 and 90
E) 40 and 140
Question 2

B) radio waves, ultraviolet, x-rays, microwaves, infrared, visible, gamma rays
C) radio waves, microwaves, visible, x-rays, infrared, ultraviolet, gamma rays
D) radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays
E) radio waves, infrared, x-rays, microwaves, ultraviolet, visible, gamma rays
