The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use Malus's Law, which states that the intensity of polarized light transmitted through a polarizer is given by: \[ I = I_0 \cos^2(\theta) \] where: - \( I \) is the transmitted intensity, - \( I_0 \) is the incident intensity, - \( \theta \) is the angle between the light's polarization direction and the axis of the polarizer. Given: - The angle \( \theta = 30^\circ \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Write down Malus's Law**: According to Malus's Law, the transmitted intensity \( I \) can be expressed as: \[ I = I_0 \cos^2(\theta) \] 2. **Substitute the angle**: Substitute \( \theta = 30^\circ \) into the equation: \[ I = I_0 \cos^2(30^\circ) \] 3. **Calculate \( \cos(30^\circ) \)**: We know that: \[ \cos(30^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] 4. **Square the cosine value**: Now, square the cosine value: \[ \cos^2(30^\circ) = \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{3}{4} \] 5. **Substitute back into the intensity equation**: Now substitute this back into the equation for \( I \): \[ I = I_0 \cdot \frac{3}{4} \] 6. **Find the ratio of intensities**: The ratio of the intensity of incident light \( I_0 \) to the transmitted light \( I \) is: \[ \frac{I_0}{I} = \frac{I_0}{I_0 \cdot \frac{3}{4}} = \frac{1}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{4}{3} \] ### Final Answer: The ratio of the intensity of incident light to the transmitted light by the analyzer is: \[ \frac{4}{3} \]
