Waves, Sound, and Physical Optics
Wave intensity is quantified as:
Unpolarized light with intensity passes through a polarizer. What is the intensity of the light after passing through the polarizer?
Which type of wave can undergo polarization?
What remains constant when a wave crosses a boundary between different media?
What is the effect of polarization on transverse waves?
Why can't longitudinal waves be polarized?
A wave has a power of 100 W and is spread over an area of 10 . What is the intensity of the wave?

What primarily determines whether a wave will be transmitted or reflected at a boundary between two media?
A wave travels from a low-mass string to a high-mass string. What happens to the wave at the boundary?
Under what condition will a reflected wave be inverted at a boundary?
