Electromagnetic waves polarized in the x direction propagate towards an ideal polarizer whose axis is aligned with the y-axis. How much electromagnetic wave intensity is transmitted through the polarizer?

there is ZERO TRANSMISSION  through the polarizer.

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

waves was polarized in the x direction propagate towards an ideal polarizer whose axis is aligned with the y-axis.

so θ = 90° { aligned with the y-axis }

now, we know that for polarized light going at angle θ to the polarizer;

I = I₀ × cos²θ

Where I₀ is the intensity of unpolarized light.

I is the intensity after polarization.

so we substitute the value of θ

I = I₀ × cos²( 90° )

I = I₀ × 0

I = 0

Therefore, there is ZERO TRANSMISSION  through the polarizer.

i don't know, you need to give me some answers.
