Unpolarized light passes through two ideal Polaroid sheets. The axis of the first is vertical and the axis of the second is at 40.0° to the vertical. What fraction of the incident light is transmitted? Three polarizing plates whose planes are parallel are centered on a common axis. The directions of the transmission axes relative to the common vertical direction are shown in the figure below. A linearly polarized beam of light with plane of polarization parallel to the vertical reference direction is incident from the left onto the first disk with intensity I₁ = = 11.0 units (arbitrary). Calculate the transmitted intensity I, when 0₁ = 21.0°, 0₂ = 41.0°, and 03 = 59.0°. Hint: Make repeated use of Malus's law. 1 units If= = I; 0₁ 02 03
Polarizing windows, filters, etc. are often used to reduce the amount of light that enters the lens of a camera or into a room or a car. A library atrium has an overhead skylight that lets in too much light during the day which heats up the interior of the library far too much. The building engineer installs new double paned polarizing sky lights to reduce the intensity. If sunlight, which is unpolarized, has an average intensity of 1286 W/m2 what angle should the polarizing axis of the second pane of the window make with the polarizing axis of the first pane of the window in order to reduce the intensity of the sunlight to 29% of the original value?°
