IBTopper Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Hi guys! I have a doubt, can anyone please solve this problem? I am really having difficulty solving it. The markscheme shows the correct answer but not how to solve it. Thanks in advance This is a sum from the IB Physics Paper 1 TZ1 2015 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevG Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Hey I'm pretty sure the ratio will be 8/3 as through malus's law we know that I = I(not) cos^2(x), and we also know that 50% of light is lost through the polarizer. By using malus's law we can find i2 and then find the ratio through that. I don't know if that made any sense to you but I have also attached my working to this problem. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
