Q17

Which statement correctly matches Malus’ Law?
(A) The intensity of polarised light entering an analyser is directly proportional to the cosine squared of the angle between the polariser and the analyser.
(B) The intensity of polarised light entering an analyser is inversely proportional to the cosine squared of the angle between the polariser and the analyser.
(C) The intensity of non-polarised light entering an analyser is directly proportional to the cosine squared of the angle between the polariser and the analyser.
(D) The intensity of non-polarised light entering an analyser is inversely proportional to the cosine squared of the angle between the polariser and the analyser.
