 This problem deals with light passing through a succession of polarizers as indicated in the sketch:

Unpolarized light, with an intensity of 1000 W/m2 is incident on the first polarizer. The light now passes through a second polarizer, which has its transmission axis rotated by 30 degrees relative to the axis of the first polarizer. What is the intensity of the light transmitted by the second polarizer?

The light transmitted by the second polarizer now encounters a third polarizer, which has its transmission axis oriented at 90 degrees relative to the first polarizer. What is the intensity of the light transmitted by the third polarizer?
