- A horizontal 5.0 mW laser beam that is vertically polarized is incident on a polarizing sheet that is oriented with its transmission axis vertical. Behind the first sheet is a second sheet that is oriented so that its transmission axis makes an angle of 30° with respect to vertical. What is the power of the beam transmitted through the second sheet? What would the power of the beam transmitted through the second sheet be if the lazer beam was Unpolarized?Polarised light is incident on crossed polarisers (i.e. polarisers with perpendicular polarisation axes). The first polariser the light encounters is aligned with the light polarisation. A third polariser is inserted between the crossed polarisers, with its polarisation axis rotated by 0.28 radians relative to the first polariser. What is the percentage of light intensity transmitted through all three polarisers?Unpolarized light with intensity 200 W/m^2 travelling to the right, is incident on the left-most polarizer and goes through all three polarizers of the figure. The dotted lines are the axes of polarization of each polarizer a) What is the intensity of light leaving the left-most polarizer? b) If the middle polarizer has an axis of polarization θ2 = 75º clockwise from the vertical (viewed in the direction the light is travelling), what is the intensity of light leaving the middle polarizer? c) If the right-most polarizer has an axis of polarization θ1 = 25º counterclockwise from the vertical (viewed in the direction the light is travelling), what is the intensity of light leaving the right-most polarizer?
- The axes of a polarizer and an analyzer are oriented at 30° to each other. (a) If unpolarized light of intensity I is incident on them, what is the intensity of the transmitted light? (b) Polarized light of intensity I is incident on this polarizer-analyzer system.

The wave is linearly polarized along the ±y direction. a) Draw a labeled snapshot mode picture of what the electric and magnetic fields look like.

If incident light is polarized at 30 degrees to the vertical, aligned with the transmission axis of polarizer B (which also has its transmission axis 30 degrees to the vertical), and polarizer C has transmission axis at 90 degrees to the vertical, in what order should the polarizers be placed for maximum intensity? Is there more than one answer? Would it be A,B,C or B,A,C?
