One way to produce a beam of polarized light with intensity and polarization angle would be to pass unpolarized light with intensity through a polarizer whose transmission axis is oriented such that. How large must be if the transmitted light is to have intensity? (Part D figure) Express your answer as a decimal number times the symbol. For example, if, enter 0.25 * I.
