Polarization
 

Polarization problem 6


A beam of vertically polarised light of intensity is incident normally on a polarising filter that has its transmission axis at to the vertical, as shown in the figure below




The transmitted light from the first polarising filter has intensity . This light is then incident normally on a second polarising filter that has its transmission axis at to the vertical. The transmitted light from the second filter has intensity .
