Question:

The drawing shows light incident on a polarizer whose transmission axis is parallel to the z axis. The polarizer is rotated clockwise through an angle α. The average intensity of the incident light is 7.0 W/m2. Determine the average intensity of the transmitted light for each of the six cases shown in the table.

________________________________Intensity of Transmitted Light

___Incident Light _________________α = 0° ___________α = 35°

(a) Unpolarized

(b) Polarized parallel to z axis

(c) Polarized parallel to y axis
