Unpolarized light [of intensity I0] fallson two polarizer sheets whose axes are at right angles.
(a) What fraction of the incident lightintensity is transmitted?
I0
(b) What fraction of the incident light is transmitted if a thirdpolarizer is placed between the first two so that its axis makesa 65° angle with the firstpolarizer?
I0
(c) What fraction of the incident light is transmitted if the thirdpolarizer is placed in front of the first sheet so that its axismakes a 65° angle with thefirst polarizer?
I0

Unpolarized light with intensity I0 is passed two polarizing filters. The axis of the first filter is horizontal and the axis of the second filter makes an angle of 36.9° with respect to the horizontal. The intensity of the light after it has passed through the second filter is

A) 0.32 I0

B) 0.36 I0

C) 0.40 I0

D) 0.50 I0

E) 0.80 I0

F) None of the above answers
