(choose chapter or problem)

(Ill) The percent polarization P of a partially polarizedbeam of light is defined asAnax + Aninwhere /max and /min are the maximum and minimum intensitiesthat are obtained when the light passes through apolarizer that is slowly rotated. Such light can be consideredas the sum of two unequal plane-polarized beams ofintensities /max and /mjn perpendicular to each other. Showthat the light transmitted by a polarizer, whose axis makesan angle (f> to the direction in which /max is obtained, hasintensity1 + p cos 2(f>i + P /maxwhere p = P/ 100 is the fractional polarization.
