The distance between polarizers and between the second polarizer and the light sensor is not taken into account in Malus’ Law. Which part/parts of (Malus' Law) Equation I=Io cos^2 (θ) would be affected by distances? What will not be affected? Clearly state and explain.

Answer #1

The distance between the two polarisers is not taken into account, it would thus affect the value of I (transmitted intensity) as intensity varies inversely to the Square of distance, also the angle theta , that is cos (theta) would remain unaffected by ignoring the distance between the two polarisers.
