Answer:
The intensity of light from the first polarizer is [tex]I_1 = 26 W/m^2[/tex]
Explanation:
The intensity of the unpolarized light is [tex]I_o = 52.0 \ W/m^2[/tex]
Generally the intensity of light that emerges from the first polarized light is
[tex]I_1 = \frac{I_o}{2 }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]I_1 = \frac{52. 0}{2 }[/tex]
[tex]I_1 = 26 W/m^2[/tex]
