Question

macmillan learning Two polarizing filters are placed in a sequence, as shown in the schematic diagram below. Unpolarized light is incident on the first filter, and any light that passes through the first filter is incident on the second. Indicate the polarization of the light that passes through each filter by dragging the appropriate image into each box See the hint in the lower panel for more information about interpreting the images unpolarized light polarizer1 polarizer 2 unpolarized light no light nswer

Explanation / Answer

Here when unpolarized light passes through first filter it will polarize the light in only vertical direction so light having vibrations in vertical direction only will pass.i.e image 2 of second row and after second filter since polarizer pass axis is perpendicular to vibrations coming out so no light will pass through after that i.e. 4 image of first row.

NOTE: after 1 filter you have inserted the image that is also vertical vibrations but there amplitude is less than unpolarized light so that will not be true and the other one with same amplitude having vertical vibrations will be true.
