Polarization Question

(a) Vertically polarized light is incident on a polaroid sheet with its transmission axis at 45 degrees to the vertical. What fraction of the incident intensity emerges through the polaroid sheet? How is this emerging light polarized?

(b) The light emerging from the polaroid sheet in (a) is now incident on a second polaroid sheet, with its transmission axis horizontal. What fraction of the intensity incident on the second sheet emerges? What fraction is this of the original vertically polarized light?

Polarized light passes through a polarizing filter which has an axis of transmission oriented at θ1 = 39.4 degrees from vertical. The intensity of the emerging light is measured to be I1 = 700 W/m2. The polarizer is then rotated so that its axis of transmission is θ2 = 70.9 degrees from vertical, and the emerging light is now measured to be 290 W/m . Find the intensity of the incident polarized light and its orientation with respect to vertical....
