Unpolarized light falls on a stack of three polarizing sheets.The transmission axes of the top and bottom sheets are 90 degreeswith respect to each other. The middle sheet has its transmissionaxis aligned at 45 degrees with respect to the top and bottomsheets. What fraction of incident unpolarized intensity istransmitted through the stack?

Unpolarized light passes through two polarizers whose transmission axes are at an angle 35.0 degrees with respect to each other. What fraction of the incident intensity is transmitted through the polarizers?

An unpolarized beam of light is incident on a stack of ideal polarizing filters. The axis of the first filter is perpendicular to the axis of the last filter in the stack. Find the fraction by which the transmitted beam’s intensity is reduced in the three following cases.

(a) Three filters are in the stack, each with its transmission axis at 45.0° relative to the preceding filter.

(b) Four filters are in the stack, each with its transmission axis at 30.0° relative to the preceding filter.

(c) Seven filters are in the stack, each with its transmission axis at 15.0° relative to the preceding filter.
