Question: #OSIII . 0 1 . 9 5 :: The light incident on polarizing sheet P 1 is linearly polarized at an angle of 3 0

#OSIII.01.95 :: The light incident on polarizing sheetP1 is linearly polarized at an angle of 30.0 with respect to the transmission axis of P1. SheetP2 is placed so that its axis is parallel to the polarization axis of the incident light, that is, also at 30.0 with respect to P1.(a) What fraction of the incident light passes throughP1?(b) What fraction of the incident light is passed by this combination? (c) By rotatingP2, a maximum in transmitted intensity is obtained. What is the ratio of this maximum intensity to the intensity of the transmitted light whenP2 is at 30.0 with respect toP1?
As with all of our problems, please keep this symbolic before putting inany numbers.
