A Linearly Polarized Electromagnetic Wave Is Sent Through Two Sheets

question 55

Multiple Choice

A linearly polarized electromagnetic wave is sent through two sheets of polarizing material. The first sheet, A, is oriented so that its transmission axis makes an angle of 30° with respect to the incident electric field of the wave. The second sheet, B, is oriented so that its transmission axis makes an angle of 90° with the incident electric field of the wave. The incident beam has an electric field of peak magnitude E0 and average intensity S0. A linearly polarized electromagnetic wave is sent through two sheets of polarizing material. The first sheet, A, is oriented so that its transmission axis makes an angle of 30° with respect to the incident electric field of the wave. The second sheet, B, is oriented so that its transmission axis makes an angle of 90° with the incident electric field of the wave. The incident beam has an electric field of peak magnitude E<sub>0</sub> and average intensity S<sub>0</sub>.   -Suppose that A and B are interchanged so that the wave is first incident upon B. What is the average wave intensity after passing through both polarizing sheets? A) 0.19S<sub>0</sub> B) 0.34S<sub>0</sub> C) 0.43S<sub>0</sub> D) 0.50S<sub>0</sub> E) zero
-Suppose that A and B are interchanged so that the wave is first incident upon B. What is the average wave intensity after passing through both polarizing sheets?
