Select the correct answer. Light incident on a polarizer is then passed through a second polarizer. If the polarizer and the analyzer are perpendicular to each other, what can you say about the light waves emerging from the second polarizer? A. The light waves are partially blocked. B. The light waves are completely blocked. C. The light waves are of the same intensity as the incident light. D.

Alinearly polarized electromagnetic wave has an average intensity of 196 w/m^2. this wave is directed towards two ideal polarizers (in real polarizers, transmission is also effected by reflection and absorption). polarizer a is oriented with its transmission axis at an angle of θ_1=20.8∘ with the incident electric field. polarizer b has its axis at an angle of θ_2=63.0∘ with the incident electric field. what is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer a? what is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer b? suppose that the two polarizers a and b are interchanged. what would the average intensity be after passing through both polarizers?
