Lecture

Interference of Light: Polarization and Intensity

Description

This lecture discusses the determination of the maximum intensity observed on a screen in an interference experiment with two polarizing filters. It covers the intensity formula for a two-slit interference experiment and the Malus law, illustrating how the intensity is affected by different polarizations. By applying these concepts, the lecture concludes with the calculation of the maximum intensity observed on the screen.
