A linearly polarized electromagnetic wave has an average intensity of 291 W/m2. This wave is directed towards two ideal polarizers (in real polarizers, transmission is also effected by reflection and absorption). Polarizer A is oriented with its transmission axis at an angle of 0₁ = 29.9° with the incident electric field. Polarizer B has its axis at an angle of 0₂ = 74.6° with the incident electric field, as shown in the figure. .0₂ View Along Axis Sideview What is the average intensity of the wave after it passes through polarizer A?
