Math

The light in a lighthouse revolves around an axis. The beam of light is perpendicular to the axis but the axis is not veretical. Because the axis is tilted,when the light beam points east it is  inclined upward at 8 degree(s). When the beam points north, it is inclined upward at 6 degree(s). What is the maximum angle of elevation of the light beam?(Give at least five decimals of accuracy.)

    (1 point) The light in a lighthouse revolves around an axis. The beam of light is perpendicular to the axis but the axis is not vertical. Because the axis is tilted, when the light beam points east it is inclined upward at 10 degree(s). When the beam points north, it is inclined upward at 1 degree(s). What is the maximum angle of elevation of the light beam? (Give at least five decimals of accuracy.)

    PROBLEM #2: Max has two pairs of polarized sunglasses. Each of the four lenses has a polarization axis that is vertical (perpendicular to the ground) when worn. Max removes three of the lenses from the glasses and arranges them in front of the fourth lens so that the polarization axes of the first and the fourth lens are perpendicular to each other. He places the other two lenses between the outermost lenses, rotating the second and third lens so that...

    When a beam of light passes through a pair of polarizing filters (polarizer and analyzer), the intensity of the transmitted light is a maximum when the transmission axes of the polarizer and analyzer are parallel to each other (θ = 0° or θ= 180°) and zero when the axes are perpendicular to each other (θ = 90°). For any value of theta between 0° and 90° the transmitted intensity is given by I = Ii cos2(θ) where Ii is the...
