Suppose you have a polarized light source in your lab that has an intensity of 1288 w/m2, where the electric field oscillates in the z direction. the light travels toward a workbench where you can send it through either one of two polarizing filters.

(a) if the light passes through a filter with its transmission axis at an angle of 45.0° from the z direction, what is the intensity of the transmitted light? w/m2

(b) if, instead, the light passes through a filter with its transmission axis at an angle of 90.0° from the z direction, what is the intensity of the transmitted light? w/m2
