QUESTION:
Problem 72P
Vertically polarized light with an intensity of 0.55 W/m2 passes through a polarizer whose transmission axis is at an angle of 65.0° with the vertical. What is the intensity of the transmitted light?
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
As the beam is vertically polarized, the intensity would be maximum and half of incident intensity when the slit is placed vertically.
Resultant intensity in terms of angle is represented as
where angle is from vertical axis
