JEE MainPhysicsModerateWave Optics

A polarizer - analyzer set is adjusted such that the intensity
of light coming out of the analyzer is just 10 of the original

intensity. Assuming that the polarizer-analyzer set does not absorb any

light, the angle by which the analyzer needs to be rotated further to

reduce the output intensity to be zero is

Show answer and solution
[IMAGE] Which is 0.707
So [IMAGE] and [IMAGE] so only one

option is correct

i.e. 18.4º

Angle rotated should be [IMAGE]
