Question

Unpolarized light (Intensity IIN) passes through a single polarizer.

(a) The axis of polarization is vertical. What fraction of the initial light is transmitted?

Unpolarized light (Intensity IIN) passes through a single polarizer. The axis of polarization is vertical. What fraction of the initial light is transmitted? 2 attempt (s) made (maximum allowed for credit = 5) The axis of polarization is tilted 45 degree from the vertical. What fraction of the initial light is transmitted? (I OUT/I IN)*100% = 2 attempt (s) made (maximum allowed for credit = 5)

Explanation / Answer

USING FPRMULAE

Etranmitted= EincidenTcos(?)

Itransmitted= Iincident cos^2(?)

1)Light transmitted through first polarizer is ver

tically

polarized. Angle between it and second polarizer is

?=90
