A linearly polarized electromagnetic wave with an electric field amplitude of 355N/C passes through a linear polarizer that is at an angle of 72.5 degrees with the initial polarization of the wave. What is the intensity of the wave that emerges from the polarizer? Show the algebraic form of the equation(s) that you apply. Report your answer with the correct number of significant figures and units.

The electromagnetic wave is defined by its wave phase, frequency, and direction of propagation of transverse field oscillation which consists of transverse electric and magnetic components.
Polarized light is a condition where each light wave is parallel to the other.
The degree of polarization totally depends on the matter and the angle at which the light is reflected. The substances that could polarize light are called polarizers and this phenomenon is known as polarization.
