10. Three polarizing disks have planes that are parallel and centered on a common axis. The direction of the transmission
axis (dashed line) in each case is shown relative to the common vertical direction. A polarized beam of light (with its axis
of polarization parallel to the horizontal reference direction) is incident from the left on the first disk with intensity S, =
820 W/m2. Calculate the transmitted intensity if 0₁ = 21.0°, 0₂ = 34.0°, and 03 = 44.0°.
