 Examine Eq.(4) to find the value of the angle $\theta$ that will provide
 maximum useful signal for measuring $\phi$.

 question 1  compute the  numerical value  of the two  terms in  equation 4,
 assuming $I_0=1.0$, and your value of $\phi$ from part 2. Is the intensity
 $I$ in equation 4 sensitive to the value of $\phi$ for each of those angles? Compute
 for other angles  of your choice. How  do we adjust $\theta$  to maximize the
 useful signal?
 
-\section*{4. Error analysis}
-In this experiment you will be determining the error in the amplitude of an oscillating signal using its digitized form, recorded by an oscilloscope. A sample yellow trace, shown in Fig.(3), depicts the change in the signal voltage as a function of time. What would be a good measure of the uncertainty in its amplitude for such a measurement?
+\section*{4. The source of polarization}

+The previous questions assumed that there are two polarizers in the system.
+But, figure  2 in the  manual shows only  one. This experiment  cannot work
+with just one polarizer. So, where is the other one?

+Hint: read the lab manual carefully.
