Original unpolarized light is transmitted through analyzer

Reference no: EM13657067

Unpolarized light passes through two Polaroid sheets. The transmission axis of the analyzer builds an angle of 45.8° with the axis of the polarizer.

1. What fraction of the original unpolarized light is transmitted through the analyzer?

2. What fraction of the original light is absorbed by the analyzer?
