Two polarizers are oriented at 34° to one other. Light polarized by 17° angle to the optic axis of the first polarizer. What reduction takes place for the emerging light from the two polarizers. (cos 17°=0.956 and cos34°=0.829) (final answer must be in percentage) |

Answer» according to malus law intensity is proportinal to (cos THETA)^2 total intensity = (cos17)^2 * (cos 34)^2 = (0.9139)*(0.6872) = 0.628 so PERCENTAGE = 0.628*100% = 62.8% |
