Chapter 38, Problem 38.47P
You use a sequence of ideal polarizing niters, each with its axis making the same angle with the axis of the previous filter, to rotate the plane of' polarization of a polarized light beam by a total of 45.0°. You wish to have an intensity reduction no larger than 10.0%. (a) How many polarizers do you need to achieve your goal? (b) What is the angle between adjacent polarizers?
