In experiment 1, unpolarized light falls on the polarizer in Figure. The angle of the analyzer is θ = 60.0°. In experiment 2, the unpolarized light is replaced by light of the same intensity, but the light is polarized along the direction of the polarizer’s transmission axis. By how many additional degrees must the analyzer be rotated so that the light falling on the photocell will have the same intensity as it did in experiment 1? Explain whether θ is increased or decreased by this additional number ofdegrees.
