59. Unpolarized light is incident on three polarizers: The first making an angle of 0 degrees with the vertical; the second making an angle of 0 degrees with the vertical; and the last one making an angle of 90 degrees with the vertical. If the initial intensity is 1227 W/m² and the final intensity is 86 W/m², to the nearest tenth of a degree what is the angle of the middle one? 000
