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]
