Q. Unpolarized light travels through $2$ linear polarizers. What (minimum) angle should the second polarizer be relative to the first polarizer (the difference between $\text{\theta }_{1}$ and $\text{\theta }_{2}$ ) so that the final intensity of light is $3/8^{\text{th }}$ of the original value?

Solution:

$\frac{3}{8}I_{0}=I=\frac{I_{0}}{2}cos^{2}\theta $
