A beam of unpolarized light is incident on the first of two parallel polarizers. The transmission axes of the two polarizers are initially parallel. Transmitted light: Unpolarized light The first polarizer is now rotated about the direction of the incident beam by an angle smaller than 90°. What changes, if any, occur in the intensity and polarization of the transmitted light? Polarization: Different Intensity: Different

1. When polarized light passes through two parallel polarizers, , the transmitted light is reduced a) Half the initial intensity b) The same as the initial intensity c) Quarter the initial intensity d) Zero intensity 2. When polarized light passes through two perpendicular polarizers, the transmitted light is: a) Half the initial intensity b) The same as the initial intensity c) Quarter the initial intensity d) Zero intensity
