Initially unpolarized light is sent along the z-axis into a system of three polarizing sheets placed perpendicular to the z-axis and whose polarizing angles with respect to y-axis are 22º (first sheet), 89º (second sheet), and 56º (the last sheet). What percentage of the initial light intensity is transmitted by the system? Express your answer as a percentage, to at least one digit after the decimal.
In Figure (a) below, unpolarized light is sent into a system of three polarizing sheets.The angles 0₁, 02, and 83 of the polarizing directions are measured counterclockwise from the positive direction of the y axis (they are not drawn to scale). Angles 0₁ and 83 are fixed, but angle 82 can be varied. Figure (b) gives the intensity of the light emerging from sheet 3 as a function of 0₂. (The scale of the intensity axis is not indicated.) What percentage of the light's initial intensity is transmitted by the three-sheet system when 82 = 92⁰? Number Units 60° (b) 120° 180-
