The light incident on polarizing sheet P 1 P1P1 is linearly polarized at an angle of 30.0° 30.0°30.0° with respect to the transmission axis of P 1 P1P1 . Sheet P 2 P2P2 is placed so that its axis is parallel to the polarization axis of the incident light, that is, also at 30.0° 30.0°30.0° with respect to P 1 P1P1 . (a) What fraction of the incident light passes through P 1 P1P1 ? (b) What fraction of the incident light is passed by the combination? (c) By rotating P 2 P2P2 , a maximum in transmitted intensity is obtained. What is the ratio of this maximum intensity to the intensity of transmitted light when P 2 P2P2 is at 30.0° 30.0°30.0° with respect to P 1 P1P1 ?
