A man sends a beam of red light along the z-axis through a polaroid filter that passes only x-polarized light. The beam is initially polarized at 30 degrees to the x-axis. The beam subsequently is passed through a filter which lets through only right-circularly-polarized light.
(a) Write down the basis corresponding to the 30 degrees, linearly polarized basis in terms of R and L basis.
(b) Evaluate the relative intensity of the beam of red light after light after it goes through the RCP filter, normalized with respect to its initial intensity.

Questions 1. If an unpolarized light passes through an ideal Polaroid filter, what percent of the light is transmitted? 2 Unpolarized light with intensity I, is incident on a Polaroid, and the emerging light strikes a second Polaroid with its axis at 60 to that of the first. Determine the intensity of the light after it has passed through the second Polaroid What is Brewster's angle when the light in the air is reflected off a surface of a lake?...

A beam of polarized light passes through a polarizing filter. When the angle between the polarizing axis of the filter and the direction of polarization of the light is 29 ∘, the intensity of the emerging beam is I A) If you instead want the intensity to be I/2, what should be the angle between the filter axis and the original direction of polarization of the light?
An unpolarized beam of light with intensity 3 MW/m2 passes through two polarizing filters. The first filter is vertically polarized, and the second filter has a polarization axis 15 degrees away from horizontal. What is the intensity of the beam that exits the second filter?
A beam of light is polarized all along the y-axis, and passes through a polarizer that has its polarization axis 45° from the y-axis. 1) What fraction of the original electric field amplitude E0 makes it through the polarizer? What direction is it now polarized in? 2) Knowing that the intensity of light is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the electric field, what fraction of the original intensity I0 makes it through the polarizer?

Unpolarized light passes through two polarizing filters. After passing through the first filter the intensity of the light (11) is 17 W/m2. The first filter is vertical (0 degrees), while the second filter is angled at 34 degrees. What is the new intensity of the light? If you have unpolarized light passing through two polarizing filters that are lined up to the same direction. How can you rotate them to block all light from passing through? rotate one by 45°...
A linearly polarized beam of light of intensityI0 is propagating in the +z direction and its direction of polarization makes an angle of 74° with the x-axis (the angle between the initial direction of polarization and the transmission axis of the first polarizer is 16° as described below). Two linear polarizing sheets are lined up perpendicular to the beam. The first sheet has its transmission axis at an angle q 1 = 90° with respect to thex-axis. The transmission axis...
