Assume a satellite shines an unpolarized light on a telescope. The intensity of the light as it reaches the telescope is 1.1*10-10 W/m2 a lit, 1000-watt light bulb mounted on it. The unpolarized light from the light bulb, upon reaching the telescope, is passed through two polarizing filters that are at an angle of 30° with respect to each other, and then the resulting light is projected onto a CCD camera. What is the intensity of the light detected by the camera?

Unpolarized light with intensity I0 shines through a series of two polarizing filters. The first is oriented 30° counter-clockwise from vertical and the second is oriented 60° clockwise from vertical. a.) Find the light intensity as it emerges from the first filter (in terms of I0). b.) Find the light intensity as it emerges from the second filter (in terms of I0). Now a new polarizing filter (oriented vertically) is placed between the original two filters. c.) Will the light...

Thanks So much in advance! 1. Unpolarized light with an intensity of 510 W / m2 is incident on a polarizer with an unknown axis. The light then passes through a second polarizer with has an axis which makes an angle of 77.5° with the vertical. After the light passes through the second polarizer, its intensity has dropped to 188 W / m2. What is the angle between the axes of the polarizers? 2.Unpolarized light of intensity I0 is incident...

An unpolarized light bulb is dimmed by a stack of three polarizing filters. The middle filter is rotated 21.6 ∘ from the first filter, and the final filter is rotated 56.8 ∘ from the first filter. A light intensity of 71.5 W/cm2 exits from the stack of all three filters. The intensity can be increased and decreased by rotating the middle filter to other angles. What is maximum light intensity that can be obtained?

Polarizing windows, filters, etc. are often used to reduce the amount of light that enters the lens of a camera or into a room or a car. A library atrium has an overhead skylight that lets in too much light during the day which heats up the interior of the library far too much. The building engineer installs new double paned polarizing sky lights to reduce the intensity. If sunlight, which is unpolarized, has an average intensity of 1322 W/m2...
