In Figure (a) below, unpolarized light is sent into a system of two polarizing sheets. The angles 8₁ and 82 of the polarizing directions of the sheets are measured counterclockwise from the positive direction of the y axis (they are not drawn to scale in the figure). Angle 8₁ is fixed but angle 82 can be varied. Figure (b) gives the intensity of the light emerging from sheet 2 as a function of 82. (The scale of the intensity axis is not indicated.) What percentage of the light's initial intensity is transmitted by the two-sheet system when 82 = 100⁰?
