A beam of polarized light is sent into a system of two polarizing sheets. Relative to the polarization direction of that incident light, the polarizing directions of the sheets are at angles u for the first sheet and 90° for the second sheet. If 0.10 of the incident intensity is transmitted by the two sheets, what is u?
Light that is polarized along the vertical direction is incident on a sheet of polarizing material. Only 73% of the intensity of the light passes
through the sheet and strikes a second sheet of polarizing material. After the second sheet, a total of 17% of the light passed through both
sheets. What angle does the transmission axis of the second sheet make with the vertical (less than 90)?
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.
