Question

2.) Consider the above arrangement of visible lightpolarizers.

i) Suppose polarizer B were not present and thatpolarizers A and C are at an angle of80°. What fraction of theinitially unpolarized light incident on A passesthrough C?
2%

ii) Suppose polarizers A and C are orientedparallel to each other and polarizer B (now in place) isat 44° to both. Then what fraction ofthe initially unpolarized light incident on Apasses through C?
3%

iii) Keep in mind that if polarizers A and Care oriented at 90° to each other (and polarizer B isabsent) no light at all gets through. Then if polarizer Bis inserted and aligned at 44° toA, the fraction of initially unpolarized lightlight incident on A that passes through C isnow
4%

iv) Answer Prediction 2-4 and write the result in yourworkbook and enter it here:
5°
