Unpolarized light enters from the left and passes first through a polarizer orie

Question

Unpolarized light enters from the left and passes first through a polarizer oriented 45°CW from the vertical and the through a polarizer oriented 450 CCW 450 ccw 45 CW Unpolarized Light e vertically polarized light passes through a polarizer with the transmission axis oriented 90° relative to the vertical and then through a second polarizer oriented vertically. 90 0°i(vertical) 0 vertical) Vertically polarized light enters from the left and passes first through a polarizer oriented 45°CCW from the vertical and the through a polarizer oriented 45o CCW 450 ccw 45 CCW ooi(vertical)

Explanation / Answer

1. Zero intensity: Because after passing throught the first polarizer, the light wave becomes perpendicular to the transmission axis of the second polarizer.

2. Zero intensity: The light has zero intensity the moment it crosses the first polarizer

3. Partially polarized.

4. Fully polarized: Because the polarized light always passes throught the transmission axis of the two polaroids
