Learning Goal:
To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 33.2 Linear Polarization.
Unpolarized light of intensity 29( W)/(c)m2
is incident on a linear polarizer set at the polarizing angle \theta 1
= 12 ∘
. The emerging light then passes through a second polarizer that is set at the polarizing angle \theta 2
= 163 ∘
. Note that both polarizing angles are measured from the vertical. What is the intensity of the light that emerges from the second polarizer?
