Explain the reasons for the number of intensity maxima and
intensity minima seen in light polarization graphs. Show figures
with the orientation of the electric field and the axis of
transmission of the polarizer.
In the Figure, a beam of light, with intensity 43
W/m2 and polarization parallel to a y axis, is
sent into a system of two polarizing sheets with polarizing
directions at angles of θ1 = 70o and
θ2 = 90o to the y axis. What is the
intensity of the light transmitted by the two-sheet system?
describe the effect of light in pigments inside rods, how light
affects the polarization of photoreceptors, and how that affects
the bipolar cells and ganglionic cells
How does intensity profiles of Large opening and Incoherent
Light different from the intensity profiles of Small slits with
Incoherent Light?
Please use diagram to explain. Thank you in advance for your
help.
A beam of light is a mixture of unpolarized light with intensity
Ia and linearly polarized light with intensity Ib. The polarization
direction for the polarized light is vertical. When this mixed beam
of light is passed through a polarizer that is vertical, the
transmitted intensity is 16.8 W/m2; when the polarizer is at an
angle of 55.0° with the vertical, the transmitted intensity is 8.68
W/m2. (a) Is Ia greater than, less than, or equal to Ib? Explain.
