Polarization of Light and Malus's Law
Learning Goal:
To understand polarization of light and how to use Malus's law to calculate the intensity of a
beam of light after passing through one or more polarizing filters.
The two transverse waves shown in the figure(Figure 1) both travel in the +z direction. The
waves differ in that the top wave oscillates horizontally and the bottom wave oscillates
vertically. The direction of oscillation of a wave is called the polarization of the wave. The
upper wave is described as polarized in the +x direction whereas the lower wave is
polarized in the +y direction. In general, waves can be polarized along any direction.
Recall that electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, microwaves, and X rays, consist of
oscillating electric and magnetic fields. The polarization of an electromagnetic wave refers
the oscillation direction of the electric field, not the magnetic field. this problem all
figures depicting light waves illustrate only the electric…
Q7) While deriving the electric and magnetic fields in the class we assumed that only one wave is travelling
in the +z direction. Derive the electric and magnetic fields of a waveguide which is closed at both ends with
a metal plate. It is fed using a voltage probe. Essentially now there will be wave in both +z and-z direction.
You can only give the fields for TE mode. Also specify the subscript which represent half cycle variation
in a particular dimension you will have to add in this case
