Suppose you have a polarized light source in your lab that has an intensity of 1364 W/m2, where the electric field oscillates in the z direction. The light travels toward a workbench where you can send it through either one of two polarizing filters.

(a) If the light passes through a filter with its transmission axis at an angle of 45.0° from the z direction, what is the intensity of the transmitted light?
=? W/m2

(b) If, instead, the light passes through a filter with its transmission axis at an angle of 90.0° from the z direction, what is the intensity of the transmitted light?
=? W/m2

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.
