    Intensity of unpolarized light = I (0)

    After first polarization its intensity becomes I (0) / 2

    After second polarization its its intensity becomes I (0) / 2 Cos²θ where θ is angle between two polaroid

    So I₁ = I (0) / 2 X Cos²θ.

    I₁/I (0) = 1/10 =.5 X Cos²θ

    Cos ²θ = 0.2

    θ = 63 degree.
