A teacher does a demonstration using an overhead projector (I = 1810 lm; units are lumens) and three polarizing discs. She places the first disc directly on the overhead machine, a second disc with its axis of polarization completely aligned with the first, and the third with its axis of polarization of 54 degrees counterclockwise to the second. Calculate the intensity of the light that emerges from the third disc.
