Question

The angle between the axes of two polarizing filters is 45.0^\circ45.0 ​∘ ​​ . By how much does the second filter reduce the intensity of the light coming through the first? Select the correct answer 0.750 0.800 0.250 0.500 Your Answer 0.125 Saved 1 of 3 attempts used Part b (1 points) What now is the direction of polarization of the transmitted light? (You can assume the first polarizer defines the angle \theta = 0θ=0.) Select the correct answer

Answer 1

Answer

given,                                                                      

angle between two polarizing filters = 45°

filter reduce intensity = ?                          

a) I = I₀ Cos² θ                                

here θ = 45⁰                                

$I = \dfrac{I_0}{2}$                      

intensity of the light is reduced by 0.500

correct answer from the given option D

b) direction of the polarization                    

                        θ = 45°
