AP Physics 2
14.3 Boundary Behavior of Waves and Polarization
Four separate setups contain ideal polarizing filters placed in the path of identical unpolarized light beams of initial intensity \(I_0\). The transmission axis angles of the filters in each setup are measured relative to the vertical direction:
Which of the following correctly ranks the intensity of the light emerging from the final filter in each setup from greatest to least?
| Setup | Number of Filters | Transmission Axis Angles |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | \(0^\circ\), \(90^\circ\) |
| 2 | 3 | \(0^\circ\), \(45^\circ\), \(90^\circ\) |
| 3 | 2 | \(0^\circ\), \(60^\circ\) |
| 4 | 2 | \(0^\circ\), \(45^\circ\) |
Which of the following correctly ranks the intensity of the light emerging from the final filter in each setup from greatest to least?
