Lecture

Polarized Light: Polarizer and Rotation Effects

Description

This lecture covers the resolution of a white test problem involving circularly polarized light passing through a cardboard blade and a polarizer. The intensity of light depends on the angle between the electric field's polarization direction and the polarizer's axis. The maximum intensity occurs when the polarizer's axis aligns with a specific direction. The lecture explores the calculation of intensity ratios, different polarizer orientations, and the impact of light rotation before the blade on the resulting polarization.
