question 97

Multiple Choice

The following items are positioned in sequence: A source of a beam of natural light of intensity $I _ { 0 }$ , three ideal polarizers A, B, and $\mathrm { C }$ ; and an observer. Polarizer axis angles are measured clockwise from the vertical, as viewed by the observer. The axis angle of polarizer $\mathrm { A }$ is set at $0 ^ { \circ }$ (vertical) , and the axis angle of polarizer $C$ is set at $50 ^ { \circ }$ . Polarizer $B$ is set so that the beam intensity at the observer is a maximum. What is the axis angle settings of polarizer B?

• A) \(75 ^ { \circ }\)
• B) \(0 ^ { \circ }\)
• C) \(100 ^ { \circ }\)
• D) \(25 ^ { \circ }\)
• E) \(50 ^ { \circ }\)
