Three polarizing sheets are placed together such that the transmission axis of the second sheet is oriented at 25.0° to the axis of the first, whereas the transmission axis of the third sheet is oriented at 40.0° (in the same sense) to the axis of the first. What fraction of an intensity of an incident unpolarized beam is transmitted by the combination?
Unpolarized light passes through three polarizing filters. The first filter has its transmission axis parallel to the z direction, the second has its transmission axis at an angle of 30.0 from the z direction, and the third has its transmission axis at an angle of 60.0 from the z direction. If the light that emerges from the third filter has an intensity of 250.0 W/m2, what is the original intensity of the light?
