7) Some light is initially polarized in the direction 70° counterclockwise from the +x axis. Its intensity is 15 W/m^2. A series of two polarizers reduces its intensity to 3 W/m^2. a. Suggest a sequence of two polarizers which will achieve this result. b. Calculate the electric field (magnitude and direction) of the light in the final state.
