The intensity of a monochromatic light beam it's reduced by half ofm its original value when it passes through a linear polarizer in any given orientation. If a quarter-wave plate is placed in between the light and the polarizer, with its fast axis oriented at an unknown angle θ from the transmission angle of the linear polarizer, the beam is completely blocked.
b. What's the angle that the polarization forms when it exits the quarter-wave plate with its fast axis?
c. What would θ value be so the statement is true?
