Two polarizing sheets are placed together with their transmission axes crossed so that no light is transmitted. A third sheet is inserted between them with its transmission axis at an angle of 45 degree with respect to each of the other transmission axes. Find the fraction of incident unpolarized light intensity transmitted by the three-sheet combination. (Assume each polarizing sheet is ideal.)

Light reflected from a horizontal surface, such as a road or a lake, has a partial horizontal polarization.

In Figure (a) below, unpolarized light is sent into a system of three polarizing sheets.

Angles 8₁ 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 82. (The scale of the intensity axis is not indicated.)

The axes of a polarizer and an analyzer are oriented at 30° to each other. (a) If unpolarized light of intensity I is incident on them, what is the intensity of the transmitted light? (b) Polarized light of intensity I is incident on this polarizer-analyzer system.

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.
