A linearly polarized electromagnetic wave has an average intensity of 324 W/m2. This wave is directed towards two ideal polarizers (in real polarizers, transmission is also effected by reflection and absorption). Polarizer A is oriented with its transmission axis at an angle of θ1 = 40.0° with the incident electric field. Polarizer B has its axis at an angle of θ2 = 70.6° with the incident electric field, as shown in the figure.
What is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer A?

What is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer B?
| Tries 0/20 |
Suppose that the two polarizers A and B are interchanged. What would the average intensity be after passing through both polarizers?

Polarizers and a Quarter-Wave Plate
A monochromatic laser beam of intensity Io = 659 W/m2 is polarized in the y-direction and propagates in the positive z-direction. This beam is incident upon a quarter-wave plate whose fast axis makes an angle of 45 degrees with the x-axis as shown. Following the quarter-wave plate are two polarizers; the transmission axis of the first polarizer is aligned with the x-axis, while the transmission axis of the second polarizer makes an angle of θ1 = 72 degrees with the...

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...
