To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the scenario We have unpolarized light passing through a polarizer and an analyzer. The polarizer and analyzer are at an angle of \(45^\circ\) to each other. The intensity of the light after passing through the analyzer is given as \(5 \, \text{W/m}^2\). ### Step 2: Apply the formula for intensity after the polarizer When unpolarized light of intensity \(I_0\) passes through a polarizer, the intensity of the light after the polarizer, \(I_p\), is given by: \[ ...
