Question

Polarize rs and Intensity 1 Due in 10 hours, 2 minutes Light is entering a polarizer or set of polarizers from the left. Determine the relative intensity of the light exiting on the right after passing through all of the polarizers. The dashed vertical lines represent the vertical reference. The solid lines represent either the polarization angle of the light or the transmission angle of the polarizer. CW represents clockwise and CCW represents counterclockwise as viewed from the right looking back to the left along the path of the light. Unpolarized light enters from the left and passes through a single polarizer with the transmission axis oriented vertically (0 relative to the vertical) Full Intensity Partial Intensity Zero Intensity Unpolarized Light Unpolarized light enters from the left and passes through a single polarizer with the transmission axis oriented horizontally (90° relative to the vertical) 90° Unpolarized Light Linearly polarized light polarized at an angle 45° CCW from the vertical enters from the left and passes through a single polarizer with the transmission axis oriented 45° CCW relative to the vertical. 45° 45 Linearly Polarized Light

Explanation / Answer

(i) After passing through a polarizer, intensity of unpolarized light is reduced to half ( irrespective of the transmission axis.

(ii) similar to (i) polarized light with half intensity will be obtained.
