If bis Brewster’s angle for light reflected from the top of an interface between two substances, and bis Brewster’s angle for light reflected from below, prove that b+b=90.0
Show that if you have three polarizing filters, with the second at an angle of 45.0to the first and at third at an angle of 90.0to the first, the intensity of light passed by the first will be reduced to 25.0% of its value. (This is in contrast to having only the first and third, which reduces the intensity to zero, so that placing the second between them increases the intensity of the transmitted light.)

Prove that, if I is the intensity of light transmitted by twopolarizing filters with axes at an angle θ and I′ is theintensity when the axes are at an angle 90.0º−θ, thenI + I′ = I0, the original intensity. (Hint: Use thetrigonometric identities cos (90.0º−θ) = sin θ andcos2 θ + sin2 θ = 1. )
A beam of unpolarized light shines on a stack of five ideal polarizers, set up so that the angles between the polarization axes of pairs of adjacent polarizers are all equal. The intensity of the transmitted beam is reduced from the intensity of the initial beam by a factor of ?=0.261. Find the angle ? between the axes of each pair of adjacent polarizers.
