Answer: A beam of light traveling horizontally is made of
Chapter 33, Problem 33.59(choose chapter or problem)
A beam of light traveling horizontally is made of an unpolarized component with intensity \(I_0\) and a polarized component with intensity \(I_p\). The plane of polarization of the polarized component is oriented at an angle \(\theta\) with respect to the vertical. Figure P33.59 is a graph of the total intensity \(I_\mathrm{total}\) after the light passes through a polarizer versus the angle \(\alpha\) that the polarizer’s axis makes with respect to the vertical. (a) What is the orientation of the polarized component? (That is, what is \(\theta\)?) (b) What are the values of \(I_0\) and \(I_p\)?
