Polarizers 1 and 3 have their axes of polarization indicated by the black solid lines, perpendicular to each other. polarizer 2 has an axis of polarization that has an angle of θ = 50.9° with respect to the polarization axis of polarizer 1. what percentage of the initial (unpolarized) light intensity passes through?

percentage of unpolarized light intensity,

Given:

Polarization angle for the 2nd polarizer,

Solution:

If I be the intensity of unpolarized light, then the intensity of light passing through the first polarizer, I':

Now, the intensity of light through polarizer 2, I":

Also Polarizer 1 and 3 are perpendicular to each other:

Therefore,

Intensity of light passing through polarizer 3:

I"' = 0.0852 I

Now, percentage of unpolarized light intensity:

i believe the answer is a

what experimental evidence led scientists to change from the previous model to this one?

a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies.

experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.
