Light of intensity I0 is polarized vertically and is incident on an analyzer rotated at an angle from the vertical. Find the angle if the transmitted light has intensity
I = (0.750)I0, I = (0.500)I0, I = (0.250)I0, and I = 0.
(Enter your answers in degrees.)

Respuesta :

a. θ = 41. 4°

b. θ = 60°

c. θ = 75. 5°

d. θ = 90°

How to determine the angle

From the given information, we would be using the Malus' law

It is given as;

I = I0 cos²θ

Where I0 is the intensity of the polarized light after passing through P

a. To find the angle, compare with the given equation

I = (0.750)I0

I = I0 cos θ

then

cos θ = 0. 750

θ = [tex]cos^-^1(0. 750)[/tex]

θ = 41. 4°

b.  I = (0.500)I0

cos  θ = 0. 500

θ = [tex]cos^-^1(0. 500)[/tex]

θ = 60°

c.  I = (0.250)I0

cos θ = 0. 250

θ = [tex]cos^-^1 (0. 250)[/tex]

θ = 75. 5°

d.  I = 0

cos  θ = 0

θ = [tex]cos^-^1 (0)[/tex]

θ = 90°
