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 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°. P12 P23 What is the ratio of the intensity I3 of light emerging from the third polarizer to the intensity Io of light incident on the first polarizer? I3 0.2256 Io Incorrect

Experiments show that the ground spider Drassodes cupreus uses one of its several pairs of eyes as a polarization detector In fact, the two eyes in this pair have polarization directions that are at right angles to one another Suppose linearly polarized light with an intensity of 775 W/m² shines from the sky onto the spider and that the intensity transmitted by one of the polarizing eyes is 774 W/m². For this eye, what is the angle between the polarization direction of the eye and the polarization direction of the incident light?
The average intensity of light emerging from a polarizing sheet is 0.789 W/m2, and that of the horizontally polarized light incident on the sheet is 0.865 W/m2. Determine the angle that the transmission axis of the polarizing sheet makes with the horizontal.
Three polarizing disks whose planes are parallel and centred on common axis. The directions of their transmission axes relative to the vertical are respectively: θ1 = 38o clockwise, θ2 = 25o counter-clockwise, and θ3 = 12o clockwise. A beam of light polarized along the vertical is incident onto the first polarizer with an intensity of I0 = 24.0 W/m². Calculate the transmitted intensity through all three polarizers.
