B)If the original light is linearly polarized in the same
direction as the polarizing axis of the first polarizer the light
reaches, what should phi be?

When a beam of light passes through a pair of polarizing filters (polarizer and analyzer), the intensity of the transmitted light is a maximum when the transmission axes of the polarizer and analyzer are parallel to each other (θ = 0° or θ= 180°) and zero when the axes are perpendicular to each other (θ = 90°). For any value of theta between 0° and 90° the transmitted intensity is given by I = Ii cos2(θ) where Ii is the...
