Consider two sets of polarizers. Set A has four polarizers, arranged so that their transmission axis are oriented at angles relative to the x-axis in this order: 90o, 60o, 30o, and 0o. Set B has four polarizers arranged so their transmission axis oriented at angles relative to x-axis in this order: 90o, 60o, 30o, and 0o. If unpolarized lights of intensity Io, are incident on the two sets of polarizers, is the transmitted intensity the same for both set? Explain. Calculate the fraction of transmitted light for each, in terms of I Consider a third set of polarizers, oriented with their transmission axis at 0o, 35o, 20o, 80o, 112o, and 53o. In what order should these be arranged to allow the maximum transmission of light? Explain.
