You have two polarizers. Unpolarized light strikes polarizer A, then any transmittedlight continues to polarizer B, and any transmitted light then hits a detector. Sketch thepolarizer orientations for A and B such that the light hitting the detector is 30% of theintensity of the original light, clearly identifying polarizer angles.arrow_forward
