Prof. Donna Strickland, who was awarded the Nobel prize for her work on the amplification of laser pulses, has a set of perfect polarizers in her lab. (A) She shines a beam of upolarized light of intensity I0​ on one of the polarizers, P1​, which has its transmission axis oriented parallel to the vertical axis. What is the intensity of the light that emerges through P1​, and what is the direction of polarization of this light? (B) She now sets a second polarizer, P2​, in line with P1​. She orients the transmission axes of each to be vertical and shines the beam of unpolarized light of intensity I0​ on P1​. and whatever is transmitted through P1​ falls on P2​. What is the intensity of the light that is transmitted through P2​ and what is the direction of polarization? (C) Next, she rotates P2​180∘ so it is now "upside down" and shines the unpolarized beam onto P1​. What is the intensity of the light transmitted through P2​ and what is the direction of polarization? NAME 2 Group Work 9 Wed 7/13/2022 Physics 1201 (D) She crosses the transmission axes at an angle of 90∘. What is the intensity of the light transmitted through P2​ and what is the direction of polarization? (E) Starting with both polarizers oriented vertically, she rotates P2​30∘ and shines unpolarized light of intensity I0​ onto P1​. What is the intensity of the transmitted light through P2​ and what is the direction of polarization? (F) Finally, she crosses the two polarizers at 90∘ again and places a liquid crystal sample in between the two crossed polarizers that acts as a perfect polarizer at an angle of 30∘ with respect to the first polarizer. What is the intensity of the light transmitted through P2​ and what is the direction of polarization? (G) Explain how the presenoe of the liquid crystal sample allow light to make it through the set of polarizers even though the angle between them is 90% ?
