Answer

(a) $58.0^{\circ}$ (b) $593W/m^2$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the required angle as $\theta_1=cos^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{I_1}{I_{\circ}}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\theta_1=cos^{-1}\sqrt{232}{825}$ $\theta_1=58.0^{\circ}$ (b) We can find the required intensity as $I_2=I_{\circ}cos^2({90^{\circ}-\theta_1})$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I_2=(825)cos^2(90^{\circ}-58.0^{\circ})$ $I_2=593W/m^2$
