Initial intensity of light is I0 Angle of polarization axis of 1st polarizer is θ1=52.6∘ Angle of polarization axis of 2nd polarizer is θ2=59.6∘The intensity of light passes through a polarizer can be calculated using MALUS law The expression for the Malus law is I=I0×cos2θ Substituting the values in the above expression we get I=I0×cos52.62I=I0×0.368I=0.368I0 ......(1) Now this intensity of light goes through the 2nd polarizer, So again applying the Malus law for the intensity at point C, I=I0×cos2θI=0.368I0×cos59.62I=0.368I0×0.506I=0.094I0 Therefore the intensity of light at point C is 0.094 I0 .

Malus's Law Below is an image of light with initial intensity lo = 750.0 W/m² going through 2 polarizing filters. The first polarizing filter is oriented with vertical polarization. The angle between the two polarizing filters is 0 = 35.0 degrees. The light is initially polarized horizontal before entering the first polarizing filter. What is the intensity of the light at l, (after passing through both filters)? Make sure to give your answer in units of W/m² and with an appropriate number of significant figures. Polarizing Filter, Polarizing Filter, Io 12 Your Answer: Answer
Three polarizing filters are stacked, with the polarizing axis of the second and third filters at angles of 24.0° and 62.0°, respectively, to that of the first. If unpolarized light is incident on the stack, the light has an intensity of 69.5 W/cm² after it passes through the stack. Part A If the incident intensity is kept constant but the second polarizer is removed, what is the intensity of the light after it has passed through the stack?
