    How Does Polarization Affect Light Intensity in a Liquid-Filled Cylinder?

    Ok thanks for the answers, if you come up with anything else I am all ears. BTW - the question is translated to English, i went over it again just to make sure i didn't forget anything. C.C. is complex conjugated that's correct.

    How Does Polarization Affect Light Intensity in a Liquid-Filled Cylinder?

    The attenuation isn't given, I am quite sure there's greater depth to the question that I am missing. i just don't think they would ask us to plot graphs that are constants. Just a thought: would your answer change if the wave was E=Eo*exp( i *(ωt)) \hat{x} or E=Eo*exp( i *(ωt-1.1*kz)) \hat{x} ?

    How Does Polarization Affect Light Intensity in a Liquid-Filled Cylinder?

    Thats it. As i said, the cylinder is oriented in the z direction, it has the length of 20cm and diameter of 10cm (radius 5). Do you have a clue how can the intensity be related to the radius?

    How Does Polarization Affect Light Intensity in a Liquid-Filled Cylinder?

    Thanks for the comments Im not sure about the the meaningless of the cylinder, just because i don't think they would give additional data without reason. The cylinder is oriented in the Z direction, and the wave is E=0 from outside it (sorry for not mentioning that earlier).

    How Does Polarization Affect Light Intensity in a Liquid-Filled Cylinder?

    Homework Statement A cylinder with the length 20cm and radius of 5cm is filled with liquid. The refractive index of the cylinder, its surrounding and the liquid is 1.3. A polarization wave is given in the fluid: E=Eo*exp( i *(ωt-kz)) \hat{x} +c.c. The wave is induced by light with a...
