An ideal polarizer is rotated at a rate Ï between a similar pair of stationary crossed polarizers.

Question:

An ideal polarizer is rotated at a rate ω between a similar pair of stationary crossed polarizers. Show that the emergent flux density will be modulated at four times the rotational frequency. In other words, show that

I = (1 cos 4wt) %3D

where I1 is the flux density emerging from the first polarizer and I is the final flux density.
