Linda Goodwin · Answer 1

A) I = Io 0.578, B) he light that leaves the polarized is completely polarized, being perpendicular to the axis of the second filter

Explanation:

A) Light passing through a polarizer must comply with the / bad law

I = Io cos2 tea

Where is at the angle of the polarizer and incident light

I = Io cos2 45

I = Io 0.578

Therefore the beam intensity is 0.578 of the incident intensity

. B) the light that leaves the polarized is completely polarized, being perpendicular to the axis of the second filter
