Question
The angle between the axes of two polarizing filters is $45.0^{\circ} .$ By how much does the second filter reduce the intensity of the light coming through the first?
Step 1
We have two polarizing filters, and the angle between their axes is \(45.0^{\circ}\). We need to determine how much the second filter reduces the intensity of the light that has already passed through the first filter. Show more…

The angle between the axes of two polarizing filters is 45.0. By how much does the second filter reduce the intensity of the light coming through the first?
What angle would the axis of a polarizing filter need to make with the direction of polarized light of intensity 1.00 ${kW} / {m}^{2}$ to reduce the intensity to 10.0 ${W} / {m}^{2}$ ?
