Question

will rate high!

Unpolarized light is incident upon two polarization filters that do not have their transmission axes aligned. If 15 % of the light passes through this combination of filters, what is the angle between the transmission axes of the filters? Unpolarized light passes through three polarizing filters. The first one is oriented with a horizontal transmission axis, the second filter has its transmission axis 25.7degree from the horizontal, and the third one has a vertical transmission axis. What percent of the light gets through this combination of filters? Polarized light passes through a polarizer. if the electric vector of the polarized light is horizontal what, in terms of the initial intensity /o, is the intensity of the light that passes through a polarizer if the polarizer is tilted 22.5degree from the horizontal?

Explanation / Answer

Please arte best answer first.


1)

0.15 = 0.5 * (cos(x))^2

x = 57 degrees


2)

0.5 * (cos(25.7))^2 (cos(90-25.7))^2

= 0.5 * ((25.7)o)y2 * ((90-25.7)o)y2

= 7.6 %


3)

I = (cos(22.5))^2 I0 = 0.854 I0
