Sounds good to me.Galahad43 said:Tried suing the above equation, and got 16%.
What do you mean?I don't know how to deal with the fact that light that did not go through the first polarizer is hitting the second one
Polarization probability refers to the likelihood that a photon will be polarized when passing through a polarizing filter. It is dependent on the angle of incidence and the properties of the material used for the filter.
Polarization probability can be measured using tools such as a polarimeter, which measures the intensity of light passing through a polarizing filter at different angles. The ratio of the intensity at a specific angle to the intensity at 90° is the polarization probability.
The angle of incidence, the material and thickness of the polarizing filter, and the wavelength of the light are all factors that can affect polarization probability. Additionally, the alignment and quality of the polarizing filter can also impact the polarization probability.
Polarization probability can be increased by using a thicker polarizing filter, a larger angle of incidence, or a material with a higher polarization index. Additionally, using multiple polarizing filters in series can also increase the polarization probability.
The intensity of light is reduced at a 62° angle because this is the angle at which the polarizing filter transmits the least amount of light. This is due to the properties of the material used in the filter and the alignment of its molecules, which allows only a certain orientation of light waves to pass through.
