Answer:
35.3°
18.4°
Explanation:
a.
The first polariser polarises the unpolarised light reducing its intensity from I0 to I0/2. We have to reduce the intensity from I0/2 to I0/3.
Using to Law of Malus, I=I0cos²θ
cos²θ=I/I0=(I0/3)/I0/2 ,
cosθ=√2/3−−√=0.6667−−−−−√=0.8165
θ=cos−1(0.8165)=35.3∘
B.
Cos²θ=I/Io =Io/10/Io9
Cosθ= √9/10= 0.9487
= cos−10.9487
=18.4°
(a) The angle of polaroid such that intensity reduces by 1/3 is 35.26°
(b) The angle of polaroid such that intensity reduces by 1/10 is 63.43°
Angle of polarisation:
According to the Malus Law: The intensity of light when passing through a polarizer is given by:
I = I₀cos²θ
where θ is the angle of the polarizer axis with the direction of polarization of the light
I₀ is the initial intensity
When an unpolarised light passes through a polarizer, θ varies from 0 to 2π, so the intensity after passing the first polarizer is :
I = I₀<cos²θ> { average of cos²θ, for 0<θ<2π}
I = I₀/2
Now, this emerging light passes through a second polarizer such that:
(a) the intensity is I' = I₀/3
From Malus Law:
I' = Icos²θ
I₀/3 = (I₀/2)cos²θ
cos²θ = 2/3
θ = 35.26°
(b) the intensity is I' = I₀/10
From Malus Law:
I' = Icos²θ
I₀/10 = (I₀/2)cos²θ
cos²θ = 1/5
θ = 63.43°
