Unpolarized light passes through two Polaroid sheets. The transmission axis of the analyzer makes an angle of 35.00 with the axis of the polarizer. What is the fraction of the incident intensity of the unpolarized light that is transmitted by the polarizer?  What is the fraction of this intensity incident on the analyzer that will be transmitted?

Experiments show that the ground spider Drassodes cupreus uses one of its several pairs of eyes as a polarization detector In fact, the two eyes in this pair have polarization directions that are at right angles to one another Suppose linearly polarized light with an intensity of 775 W/m² shines from the sky onto the spider and that the intensity transmitted by one of the polarizing eyes is 774 W/m². For this eye, what is the angle between the polarization direction of the eye and the polarization direction of the incident light?

More than one analyzer can be used in a setup like that in the drawing, each analyzer following the previous one. Suppose that the transmission axis of the first analyzer is rotated 29° relative to the transmission axis of the polarizer, and that the transmission axis of each additional analyzer is rotated 29° relative to the transmission axis of the previous one. What is the minimum number of analyzers needed for the light reaching the photocell to have an intensity that is reduced by at least a factor of 100 relative to that striking the first analyzer?

Chapter 27: Problem 6: Unpolarized light of intensity I0 = 950 W/m² is incident upon two polarizers. The first has its polarizing axis vertical, and the axis of the second is rotated θ = 65° from the vertical. Randomized Variables I0 = 950 W/m² θ = 65°   Part (a) What is the intensity of the light after it passes through the first polarizer in W/m²?  Part (b) What is the intensity of the light after it passes through the second polarizer in W/m²?

Unpolarized light passes through three polarizing filters. The first filter has its transmission axis parallel to the z direction, the second has its transmission axis at an angle of 30.0° from the z direction, and the third has its transmission axis at an angle of 60.0° from the z direction. If the light that emerges from the third filter has an intensity of 587.0 W/m², what is the original intensity of the light? (Assume both angles are measured in the same direction from the +z axis.) W/m2

Unpolarized light of intensity lo =208 W/m² passes through a first polarizer with its polarizing axis in the vertical position and then through a second polarizer oriented an angle of 84 degrees with the first polarizer. What is the intensity of the light emerging from the second polarizer? Enter you answer in W/m2 with one decimal place precision.
