Effect of a polarizer/analyzer on partially polarized light

[QUOTE="FranzDiCoccio, post: 6868519, member: 141434"] Oh ok, I see the edited message now. This is the problem which had me start this topic. By the way, I'm realizing just now that I was not very precise in my OP. The problem is n° 62 in chapter 24 (page 767 in my version of Cutnell and Johnson's "Physics, 9th edition"). This is what I initialy thought as well. There is actually one other way to get the proposed result, that is assuming that the angle between the polarizer and the analyzer is fixed, so that when you rotate the former you also rotate the latter by the same angle. See my OP, which I think agrees with kuruman's first comment: my formulas for the maximum and minimum intensity correspond to [itex]\varphi = k \pi[/itex] and [itex]\varphi = (2k-1) \pi/2[/itex] in their second formula.
