?The light incident on polarizing sheet \(P_{1}\) is linearly polarized at an angle of

Chapter 1, Problem 95

(choose chapter or problem)

The light incident on polarizing sheet \(P_{1}\) is linearly polarized at an angle of \(30.0^{\circ}\) with respect to the transmission axis of \(P_{1}\). Sheet \(P_{2}\) is placed so that its axis is parallel to the polarization axis of the incident light, that is, also at \(30.0^{\circ}\) with respect to \(P_{1}\).  (a) What fraction of the incident light passes through \(P_{1}\)? (b) What fraction of the incident light is passed by the combination? (c) By rotating \(P_{2}\),  a maximum in transmitted intensity is obtained. What is the ratio of this maximum intensity to the intensity of transmitted light when \(P_{2}\) is at \(30.0^{\circ}\) with respect to \(P_{1}\)?
