Polarization of Light and Malus's Law
Learning Goal:
To understand polarization of light and how to use Malus's law to calculate the intensity of a
beam of light after passing through one or more polarizing filters.
The two transverse waves shown in the figure(Figure 1) both travel in the +z direction. The
waves differ in that the top wave oscillates horizontally and the bottom wave oscillates
vertically. The direction of oscillation of a wave is called the polarization of the wave. The
upper wave is described as polarized in the +x direction whereas the lower wave is
polarized in the +y direction. In general, waves can be polarized along any direction.
Recall that electromagnetic waves, such as visible light, microwaves, and X rays, consist of
oscillating electric and magnetic fields. The polarization of an electromagnetic wave refers
the oscillation direction of the electric field, not the magnetic field. this problem all
figures depicting light waves illustrate only the electric…
He proved that one characteristic of light is its ability to be polarized.

Wave from a wire antenna
Puntos:3
An electromagnetic wave from a wire antenna travels (from the reader) toward the plane of the paper. At time t = 0.0 s it strikes the paper at normal incidence. At
point O and t = 0.0 s, the magnetic field vector has its maximum value, 4.84×10-8 T, pointing in the negative y-direction. The frequency of this wave is 1.83x106
Hz.
B (t=0)
What is the x-component of the associated electric field E at time t = 0.0 s? (Use the right-hand rule to determine the direction of E, and hence the sign of the x-
component.)
0.0886N/C
The B-field and the E-field magnitudes are related via the speed of light. The directions of E, B, and the wave propagation direction are related by the right-hand
rule.
