Answer

a) $I_2=4.62W/m^2$ b) $I_2=27W/m^2$ c) $I_2=4.62W/m^2$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $I_2=I_{\circ}cos^2\theta_1cos^2\theta_2$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I_2=(37.0W/m^2)cos^2(22.5^{\circ})cos^2(90-22.5^{\circ})$ $I_2=4.62W/m^2$ (b) As $I_2=I_{\circ}cos^2\theta_1cos^2\theta_2$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I_2=(37.0W/m^2)cos^2(22.5^{\circ})cos^2(0-22.5^{\circ})$ $I_2=27W/m^2$ (c) The required intensity can be determined as $I_2=I_{\circ}cos^2\theta_1cos^2\theta_2$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I_2=(37.0W/m^2)cos^2(22.5^{\circ})cos^2(45+22.5^{\circ})$ $I_2=4.62W/m^2$
