A linearly polarized electromagnetic wave has an average intensity of i0. this wave is incident on a polarizer. what angle between the axis of polarization of the polarizer and the direction of polarization of the incident light will result in an average intensity of light leaving the polarizer of 0.33·i0?

    A linearly polarized electromagnetic wave has an average intensity of 450 W/m2. This wave is directed towards two ideal polarizers (in real polarizers, transmission is also effected by reflection and absorption). Polarizer A is oriented with its transmission axis at an angle of θ1 = 32.6° with the incident electric field. Polarizer B has its axis at an angle of θ2 = 75.8° with the incident electric field, as shown in the figure.
