Malus Law Hard

Question

After two ideal polarizers at relative angle θ intensity is:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

**Malus's Law** describes the intensity of light ($I$) after passing through a second polarizer (analyzer):
$I = I_{transmitted} \cos^2 	heta$
where $I_{transmitted}$ is the intensity of the light incident on the analyzer (which is $I_0/2$ if the first light was unpolarized) and $	heta$ is the angle between the two polarizing axes.
- If $	heta = 90^\circ$ (Crossed polarizers), $I = 0$.
