For each problem, draw a diagram showing the relevant physics of the problem, including any vectors. All relevant quantities should be clearly labeled on the diagram. Start from first principles (an equation in the review section of the chapters). Always show your work and/or explain your reasoning. In some cases, the work speaks for itself and requires little to no explanation. For problems with few or no calculations, but sure to clearly explain your reasoning. Answers without work shown or without sufficient relevant explanations will not receive full credit. Be sure to include units. Problem 1 Consider two sets of polarizers. Set A has four polarizers, arranged so that their transmission axis are oriented at angles relative to the x-axis in this order: 90°, 70°, 20°, and 0°. Set B has four polarizers, arranged so their transmission axis oriented at angles relative to the x-axis in this order: 90°, 20°, 70º,0°. (a) (7 points) If unpolarized lights of intensity lo are incident on the two sets of polarizers, is the transmitted intensity the same for both set? Explain your reasoning. (b) (8 point) Calculate the fraction of transmitted light for both sets of polarizers (A and B), in terms of lo. (c) (10 points) Consider a third set of polarizers, oriented with their transmission axis at 53°, 3°, 32°, 118°, 86°, and 21°. Without calculating the transmission, determine what order should these be arranged to allow the maximum transmission of light. Explain your reasoning.
