What is the fraction of the original light transmitted


Part 1:

Unpolarized white light is incident on a polarizer and then falls on an analyzer whose TA (Transmission Axis) makes an angle of θ = 16.8? with the polarizer.

What is the fraction of the original light transmitted through both the polarizer and analyzer?

Part 2:

If the analyzer is rotated until the transmit- ted intensity is 28.8 percent of the original light intensity, what is the new angle of the analyzer with respect to the polarizer?
