Vertically polarized light with an intensity of 0.45 W/m2 passes through a polarizer whose transmission axis is at an angle of 55 ∘ with the vertical.What is the intensity of the transmitted light?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]0.148[/tex]

W/m2

Explanation:

As we know the intensity of transmitted light can be determined by equation given below -  

[tex]I = I_0cos^2\alpha[/tex] 

where I is the intensity of transmitted light  

 

is equal to the angle of the polarization of input light

 

[tex]I_0[/tex] is the intensity of input light.  

Given -

Intensity of input light  [tex]I_0[/tex] [tex]= 0.45[/tex]

 

W per square meter

 

[tex]\alpha = 55[/tex] degrees

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -  

 [tex]I = 0.45 * cos^2 (55)\\= 0.148[/tex]
