Unpolarized light of intensity 80 W/m2 is incident on polarizer #1. After passing through polarizer #1, the light then passes through polarizer #2 whose transmission axis is at 55 degrees to that of polarizer #1. What is the intensity of the light transmitted through polarizer #2? (in units of W/m2)

Unpolarized light, such as sunlight, with intensity 1200 W/sq*m is passed through a single polarizing filter.  (a) What is the average intensity of the light after it has passed through this first filter? A second filter is now added to the path of this sunlight.  The axis of this filter is turned at an angle of 37 degrees to the direction of the first polarizing filter. (b) What now will be the Intensity of the light which has passed through both filters ?  Thank you for the help!! : )

In the polarizer/analyzer combination in the drawing, 66.0% of the light intensity falling on the analyzer is absorbed. Determine the angle between the transmission axes of the polarizer and the analyzer. ma Polarizer Number i Unpolarized light E cos 0 Units <90° 0 E Analyzer E cos e Photocell

As light travels in an absorbing medium, the rate of decrease in intensity is proportional to the intensity at that point. The intensity as a function of distance traveled in the medium is then O an exponential function of distance. O a sine or cosine function of distance. O proportional to the distance. O proportional to 1/distance.
