Two ideal linear sheet polarizers are arranged with theirtransmission axes at 10 degrees and 60 degrees with respect tovertical.

a) If a beam of linearly polarized light with its electric fieldat 40 degrees with respect to vertical enters the first polarizer,what fraction of its

irradiance will emerge from the second?

b) Replace the polarized beam with a beam of natural, randomlypolarized light. Now calculate the fraction of the incidentirradiance that emerges

from the second polarizer.
