Question
Problem 28:  Unpolarized light of intensity I0 = 650 W/m2 is incident upon two polarizers. The first has its polarizing axis vertical, and the axis of the second is rotated θ = 25° from the vertical.

Randomized VariablesI0 = 650 W/m2
θ = 25°

 
 
Part (a) What is the intensity of the light after it passes through the first polarizer in W/m2?
Numeric   : A numeric value is expected and not an expression.
I1 = __________________________________________


Part (b) What is the intensity of the light after it passes through the second polarizer in W/m2?
Numeric   : A numeric value is expected and not an expression.
I2 = __________________________________________
