A polarized Light of intensity I0 is incident on an analyzer. What should the angle between the axis of polarization of the light and the transmission axis of the analyzer be to allow 44% of the total intensity to be transmitted?

    You could use Malus's Law. Malus's Law tells us that if you have a polarized wave (of intensity I 0 0) passing through a polarizer the emerging intensity (Y OR) will be proportional to the square cosine of the angle between the polarization direction of the incoming wave and the axis of the polarizer.

    Explanation:

    OR: I = I 00 ⋅ cos two (e)
