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?
A beam of light passes through three sheets of polarizing material as shown in the drawing. The orientation of transmission (polarizing) axis is labeled relative to the vertical. The incident beam of light is unpolarized and has an intensity of 650 W/m^2.a) Find intensity of beam transmitted after each polarizing material.b) Sketch direction of polarized light after each polarizing material.
Light reflected from a horizontal surface, such as a road or a lake, has a partial horizontal polarization. We can think of the light as a mixture of horizontally polarized light and unpolarized light. Suppose the reflected light from a road surface is 50%% polarized and 50%% unpolarized. The light intensity is 120 W/m2W/m2.
A wave is passing through two polarizers. It is an unpolarized electromagnetic wave, and it initially has a max electric field magnitude of 20000N/C. The 1st polarizer, polarizes at an angle of 20 degrees vertical. The 2nd polarizer, polarizes at an angle of 30 degrees horizontal. What would be the intensity of a light wave that passes through the two polarizers?

In the figure, initially unpolarized light is sent into a system of three polarizing sheets whose polarizing directions make angles of 01 = 36° with the direction of the y axis. What percentage of the light's initial intensity is transmitted by the 56°, 02 = 28°, and 03 %3D %3D system? Number Units Use correct number of significant digits; the tolerance is +/-1 in the 2nd significant digit
A beam of initially unpolarized light passes through a sequence of three ideal polarizers. The angle p12 between the axes of the first and second polarizers is 23.9°, and the angle p23 between the axes of the second and third polarizers is 58.7°.
