24.3 Suppose you have a polarized light source in your lab that has an intensity of 1154 W/m2, where the electric field oscillates in the z direction. The light travels toward a workbench and encounters two polarizing filters.(a) If the light passes first through a filter with its transmission axis at an angle of 45.0° from the z direction, and then through a filter with its transmission axis at an angle of 90.0° from the z direction, what is the final intensity of the transmitted light? W/m2(b) If, instead, the light passes first through a filter with its transmission axis at an angle of 90.0° from the z direction, and then through a filter with its transmission axis at an angle of 45.0° from the z direction, what is the final intensity of the transmitted light? W/m2
