A beam of light passes through a polarizer and then ananalyzer. In this process, the intensity of the lighttransmitted is reduced to 10% of the intensity incident on theanalyzer. What is Let the original intensity of light be I0
The intensity of light through analyzer I=10% I0
Let q be theangle between the axes of the polarizer and theanalyzer
Apply; Malus,sLaw
I=I0cos2q
Now; q can be calculatedout by putting the above values
