Two polarizing sheets are placed with their planes parallel so that light intensity transmitted is maximum. Through what angle will either sheet be turned so that intensity drops to half the maximum value?

Suggested solution:

According to Malus' law, the intensity I of transmitted light from an analyzer is

I = Io cos2d

Where s is the angle between the analyzer and the polarizer.

Given I = Io/ 2.

Therefore,
