An unpolarized beam of light is sent into a stackof fourpolarizing sheets, oriented so that the
angle between the polarizing direction of adjacentsheetis ø = à /6. What fraction of the incident
intensity is transmitted by the system?
A beam of unpolarized light of intensity I0 passes through a series of ideal polarizing filters with their polarizing axes turned to various angles as shown in Fig. E33.27. (a) What is the light intensity (in terms of I0) at points A, B, and C? (b) If we remove the middle filter, what will be the light intensity at point C?
Unpolarized light of intensity passes through six successive Polaroid sheets each of those axes makes a angle with the previous one. What is the intensity of the transmitted beam?
