Polarization of light Problems, Malus Law – Intensity & Amplitude – Physics

322.3K views on YouTube

This physics video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the polarization of light. It explains how to calculate the intensity of light that passes through two polarizing filters – the polarizer and the analyzer.. Malus law describes the relationship between the intensity of unpolarized light that enters a filter and that leaves a filter. Whenever unpolarized light enters a filter and becomes polarized, the intensity is reduced by a factor of 1/2. This video contains plenty of examples and practice problems on the polarization of light.
