Consider the figure below that shows unpolarized light with intensity I0 = 8.75 W/m2 passing through three ideal polarizing filters A, B, and C. The polarizing axes are set to: A: vertical (along the positive y-axis). B: θ1 = 38.0° clockwise with respect to the positive y-axis. C: θ2 = 34.5° counterclockwise with respect to the negative y-axis. Calculate the intensity of the light (in W/m2) after it has passed through polarizer C.
