The E(incident) for the first polarizer is E(incident)=-76.1930384332

The E(incident) for the second polarizer is E(incident)=12.340115991

Explanation:

Solving the problem:

Given

Transmitted data = 80 mW

First polarizer= 30 degree

Second polarizer= 60 degree

We have the formula,

E (transmitted) = E (incident)cos()

1. Through the first polarizer

E (transmitted) = E (incident)cos()

80=E(incident) cos(60 degree) (according to law subtract the given degree with 90 degree).

Then,

E(incident)=E(transmitted) cos()

E(incident) =80×cos 60 degree

E(incident)=-76.1930384332

The E(incident) for the first polarizer is E(incident)=-76.1930384332

2. Through the first polarizer

We have the formula,

E (transmitted) = E (incident)cos()

80=E(incident) cos(30 degree) (according to law subtract the given degree with 90 degree).

Then,

E(incident)=E(transmitted) cos()

E(incident) =80×cos 30 degree

E(incident) =12.340115991

The E(incident) for the second polarizer is E(incident)=12.340115991
