Two polarizers have their transmission axes at an angle of . Unpolarized light of intensity I is incient on the firsit polarizer. What is the intensity of the light transmitted by the second polarizer? A. I cos o B. 0.5 I cos C. 0.25 I cos-o D. I cose E. 0.5 I cose

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]0.5ICOS^2\Theta[/tex]

Explanation:

When the light of the intensity I passes through the first polarizer then the intensity of the light will become [tex]I_1=\frac{I}{2}[/tex]

When this light of intensity [tex]I_1[/tex] is passes through second polarizer then according to malus law of intensity intensity will become [tex]I_2=I_1COS^2\Theta[/tex]

As [tex]I_1=\frac{I}{2}[/tex]

So finally intensity will become [tex]I_2=0.5ICOS^2\Theta[/tex]
