A beam of natural light passes through two polarizing filters.a)Determine the angle between the polarizing directions of the two polarizing filterswhen the light intensity becomes 1/3 of its original value after the propagation.b) Supposed that the incident beam now contains both natural light and a linearlypolarized light. One of the polarizing filters is removed. The other filter is aligned atan angle such that the intensity of the transmitted beam is maximized. If we then rotatethe polarizing filter through 60° , the intensity of the transmitted beam is reduced by50% compared to the maximum value. What fraction of the original beam isassociated with the beam's polarized light?

For infrared wavelengths, germanium can be considered lossless, non-magnetic (u- 1) and has a relative dielectric constant e 16.
