📊 Malus Law Formula
I = I₀cos²(θ)
Where I is transmitted intensity, I₀ is incident intensity, θ is angle between polarizers
Transmitted Intensity:
-
Transmission Ratio:
-
Angle (degrees):

💡 Tips & Information
- Malus Law describes light transmission through polarizing filters
- Maximum transmission occurs when θ = 0° (parallel polarizers)
- Minimum transmission occurs when θ = 90° (crossed polarizers)
- Transmission ratio = cos²(θ)
- Multiple polarizers reduce intensity exponentially
