The light beam in Figure 24.32 passes through a polarizer
Chapter 24, Problem 24.24(choose chapter or problem)
The light beam in Figure 24.32 passes through a polarizer whose transmission axis makes an angle with the vertical. The beam is partially polarized and partially unpolarized, and the average intensity of the incident light is the sum of the average intensity of the polarized light and the average intensity of the unpolarized light; The intensity of the transmitted light is also the sum of two parts: As the polarizer is rotated clockwise, the intensity of the transmitted light has a minimum value of when and has a maximum value of when the angle is (a) What is the intensity of the incident light that is unpolarized? (b) What is the intensity of the incident light that is polarized?
