Given information
Plane-polarised light is incident on two polarisers that are orientated at 48° to each other. Only 35% of the light makes it through both of them.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
If the incoming intensity is 
, the intensity after first polariser will be
Where,
is intensity after first polariser
