Question
Three perfectly polarizing sheets are spaced 2 cm apart and in parallel planes. The transmission axis of the second sheet is 33 degrees relative to the first one. The transmission axis of the third sheet is 90 degrees relative to the first one. Unpolarized light impinges on the first polarizing sheet. What percent of this light is transmitted out through the third polarizer?
