4. Sometimes, you drive on a highway and see a sunlight reflected from the road surface to reach your eyes. Make a drawing to show the plane of incidence with reference to the highway surface and your eye position. Is the TE polarization horizontal or vertical to the highway surface?

Unpolarized light passes through a single polarizer. Of the 100% of the light that made it through the first polarizer, how much will make it through... another polarizer, angled 30° to the first one, and then yet another polarizer, angled a further 30°. a vacuum. another polarizer, angled 30° to the first one. another polarizer, angled 90° to the first one. another polarizer, angled 45° to the first one. another polarizer, angled 45° to the first one, and then yet another polarizer, angled a further 45°. 1. 100% 2. 75% 3. 66.67% 4. 56.25% 5. 50% 6. 33.33% 7. 25% 8. 12.5% 9. 0%

3. A beam of light passes through a polarizer and then an analyzer. In this process, the intensity of the light transmitted is reduced to 10% of the intensity of the intensity incident on the analyzer. What is the angle between the axes of the polarizer and the analyzer?a. 18°b. 22°c. 32°d. 68°e. 72°

1. Starting from its electric field componenets: E = E#0 Cos(wt + yx); Ey = Eyo cos(wt + Yy) derive the following general expression for polarization of light: %3D E E E, Ey cos 8 = sin? S Ex0 Eyo where 8 = 8, - 8p.

When light reflects off horizontal surfaces some of the vertical components of the electric fields are absorbed while the horizontal components are reflected. In order for a polarizing set of sunglasses to be effective the glasses must be aligned so that it will block the components of the electric fields. horizontal vertical spherical elliptical
