Question

A beam of polarized light with intensity I₀ and polarization angle θ₀ strikes a polarizer with transmission axis θ_TA. What angle θ should be used in Malus's law to calculate the transmitted intensity I₁?

This process is illustrated in the figure (Figure 2), where the polarization of the light wave is visually illustrated by a magenta double arrow oriented in the direction of polarization, the transmission axis of the polarizer is represented by a blue double arrow, and the direction of motion of the wave is illustrated by a purple arrow.

θ₀

θ_TA

θ_TA−θ₀

θ_TA+θ₀

(θ_TA−θ₀)/2

What is the polarization angle θ₁ of the light emerging from the polarizer?

θ_TA

θ_TA−θ₀

θ_TA+θ₀
