polarization question ! help me
unpolarized light passes through 2 Polaroid sheets . the axis of the first polarizer is vertical , and that of the second is at tetha degree to the vertical . If only 25% of the initial light is transmitted , compute the axis of the second polarizer .
i know that I need to use Malus Law ; I = Io cos^2 theta
id need to knnow more information as to the properties of a polarized sheet
that's the info were given by the question
i imagine the sheet has slits in it of a certain height and width. but thats just an assumption, im trying to google what this process is like
|dw:1411739008235:dw| something like this
i think
thats a fine representation, i can think of a generalization that uses that area of a parallelagram
what's that ?
