Homework Statement
In order to decrease the intensity of a beam of unpolarized light to 10% of its original
intensity using two polarizers, what is the required value of θ, the angle between the
transmission axes of the two polarizers?
Homework Equations
tanθB=n2/n1
The Attempt at a Solution
tanθB=n2/n1
I'm not sure how to do this. I read the section on polarization and there are no examples in the book.
