Unpolarized light falls on two polarizing sheets placed one on top of the other. What must be the angle
between their transmission axis, if intensity of transmitted light by the analyzer is one third of that of
incident light?
I2=I1cos2θI_2=I_1cos^2\thetaI2=I1cos2θ
13I1=I1cos2θ ⟹ θ=cos−11√3\frac{1}{3}I_1=I_1cos^2\theta\implies \theta=cos^{-1}\frac{1}{√{3}}31I1=I1cos2θ⟹θ=cos−1√31
∴θ=55°\therefore \theta=55°∴θ=55°
