32. Electromagnetic Waves Polarization & Polarization Filters
2PRACTICE PROBLEM
During a laboratory-based course, a system of two polarizing films is used to verify Malus' law. The two films have their polarization axes inclined at 40° to each other. A collimated beam of unpolarized light of intensity 5 mW/m2 is sent into the system. Calculate the transmitted intensity through the polarizing system.
