Question

The figure below shows light reaching a polarizing sheet whose polarizing direction is parallel to a y axis. We shall rotate the sheet 40° clockwise about the light's indicated line of travel.

During this rotation, does the fraction of the initial light intensity passed by the sheet increase, decrease, or remain the same if it is initially polarized as follows? (Select all that apply.)
1
unpolarized: increases
unpolarized: decreases
unpolarized: remains the same
parallel to the x axis: increases
parallel to the x axis: decreases
parallel to the x axis: remains the same
parallel to the y axis: increases
parallel to the y axis: decreases
parallel to the y axis: remains the same

Explanation / Answer

unpolarized: remains the same parallel to the x axis: increases parallel to the y axis: decreases
