question 125

Multiple Choice

Light of intensity S₀ that is polarized horizontally passes through three ideal polarizers. The first and third are horizontal, but the second one is oriented at $0.39270 \mathrm { rad }$ to the horizontal. In terms of S₀, the intensity of the light that passes through the set of polarizers is closest to which one of the following choices?

• A)0.729 S₀
• B)0.125 S₀
• C)0.427 S₀
• D)0.854 S₀

Definitions:

Sensory Receptors

Specialized cells or neuronal structures that respond to specific types of external stimuli, such as light, sound, pressure, or chemicals, sending signals to the brain.

Bottom-up Processing

An approach in perception where processing starts with sensory input and builds up towards the final conceptual representation.

Sensory Adaptation

The process by which sensory receptors become less sensitive to constant or unchanging stimuli.

Stimulus Energies

The physical or environmental energies that an organism can detect and respond to, such as light, sound, and temperature.
