Q7..answer type

A beam of unpolarized light with intensity 10 falls first upon a polarizer with transmission axis OTA,1
then upon a second polarizer with transmission axis OTA,2, where OTA,2-0TA,1-90degrees (in other
words the two axes are perpendicular to one another). What is the intensity 12 of the light beam
emerging from the second polarizer? (Figure 4)
Express your answer as a decimal number times the symbol 10. For example, if 12=(1/4)10, enter 0.25 *
I_0.
Incident
natural
light
