Effect of a polarizer/analyzer on partially polarized light

[QUOTE="FranzDiCoccio, post: 6868302, member: 141434"] Hi Steve4Physics thank you for your reply, and for your praise of my English :smile: Sometimes I worry I am not understanding something obvious because of the "language barrier". I thought that "polarizer" might mean the whole "polarized + analyzer" system, but I was not sure. After all, I think that the standard use of such a system is that one can rotate the polarizer wrt the analyzer, to use Malus' law. I guess blocking them at some fixed angle is just an artificial situation that was devised to create a new problem for the students to solve. Could that be actually useful in some situation? I guess not, because one gets the same result by using only one polarizer... Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
