Unpolarized light passes through two polarizers; the axis of one is vertical and that of the other is at 54.0 o to the vertical. what is the ratio of the transmitted light intensity to the original light intensity?

0.3455

Explanation:

Using Malus law as:

Where,

is the intensity of the transmitted light

is the intensity of the incident light

is the angle between the polarizer.

Given that:

To find the ratio of the transmitted light intensity to the original light intensity which is

So,

if they have a finite resultant
