Answer:
The intensity is [tex]I = 500 mW/m^2[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The intensity of the unpolarized light is [tex]I_o = 1000 \ m W /m^2 = 1000 *10^{-3} \ W/m^2[/tex]
Generally the intensity of the light emerging from the polarizer is mathematically represented as
[tex]I = \frac{I_o}{2}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]I = \frac{1000 *10^{-3}}{2}[/tex]
[tex]I = 500 *10^{-3} W/m^2[/tex]
[tex]I = 500 mW/m^2[/tex]
